I believe an algorithm may have picked up on something so innocuous as ‘damage’ or some other word in her report on hurricanes that was construed as ‘violence’. More likely, it’s the phrase ‘climate change’ whut dunnit.

Meanwhile, some basement-dweller could co-opt her image and voice to create a naughty and/or subservient bot, which would probably fly below the AI radar.
