I don't think that's changed, no. My hypothesis, incidentally, is that it's really hard for an AI to tell the difference between human and ape facial features at all; they're too similar. It seems easy to us because a big chunk of the human brain is devoted to face processing. The AI pretty much just knew "primate face," and knew that pale primate faces were usually human, but with a dark primate face it could only guess. (Which doesn't excuse Google for releasing it in that state, of course.)
