I inserted a 👌 emoji in a #Telegram chat (in absence of a chef-kissing-fingers emoji) and the second sticker it suggested me was a fucking Pepe.

If it’s another example of machine learning picking up bad cues from their users, this is worrying. If it’s deliberate, it’s a huge red flag.

@miramarco What have Telegram stickers to do with machine learning?

@C1710 My guess is that they associated the 👌 emoji (which has been adopted with the alt-right) to another one of their symbols. The sticker itself did not show the frog doing that gesture. But it is just my guess.

@miramarco But "they" are the creators of that sticker pack. If you create you sticker pack, you can choose the emojis on which to show the stickers.
So as an example, I had to choose 😍 as the emoji for the 🥰 sticker in my Blobmoji sticker pack since Telegram doesn't support Emoji 11.
