Politician Fights AI Photo Misidentification

The MAX app had a problem with photos. It stopped people from using some pictures. This happened because a politician had trouble with his photo.

Merkushev tried to use different photos of himself. But the app blocked him from using them. The app said he broke the rules of the app.

Merkushev's helper called the app's support team. They said the app made a mistake. The app thought he was a fake or bad picture, like a 'dickpic'.

Merkushev joked that the app thought he was a computer. He said this was a nice thing to say. He said that politicians are smart, and not like computers.
