    1. “CNN and MSNBC were the beta testers…”
      which supports the conspiracy theory that Jim Acosta is just a bot… (perhaps a sexbot?)

      NAH! There’s no chance. An AI bot would appear much more like a normal human being.
      It wouldn’t behave like an idiot narcissist liar.

      And would therefore have a better chance of getting laid…

  2. And even with this astounding bit of AI, it proves the same fundamental principle – GIGO – garbage in, garbage out. The AI has no way of determining the truth, but can turn out convincing crap in copious quantities – sort of like climate change models.

  3. What? They don’t remember Max Headroom?
    The bar is set so low that of course a computer program can imitate a “journalist/reporter/presstitute”.
    That does not qualify as intelligence,artificial or otherwise.

    1. John, you’ve hit the nail right on the sharp pointy end.

      Signed,
      AI that can put out seemingly intelligent and intelligible stuff, but still can’t think

      P.S. Well do I remember Max Headroom. That didn’t last long.

  4. ”Computers could write full – and wrong – news stories – researchers”

    Just like real live journalists and you don’t have to pay them. The former journalists need to learn to code so they can supply fake personalities built in and add convincing touches like bad grammar and poor punctuation.

  6. From long, long ago.

    Turing test

    The test was introduced by Turing in his 1950 paper, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, while working at the University of Manchester (Turing, 1950; p. 460).[3] It opens with the words: “I propose to consider the question, ‘Can machines think?'” Because “thinking” is difficult to define, Turing chooses to “replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.”[4] Turing’s new question is: “Are there imaginable digital computers which would do well in the imitation game?”[5] This question, Turing believed, is one that can actually be answered. In the remainder of the paper, he argued against all the major objections to the proposition that “machines can think”. . .

    In the meantine;

    Alexa – make me a sammich.

    1. Alexa: “Make yer own d@mn sandwich you sexist pig!”

    1. “My suggestion? Do NOT learn to code. Go get a part time job as an Uber Driver while attending the local community college studying something like welding or plumbing.”

      What? Who wants anyone with no common sense or work ethic doing anything of the kind?

      That’s how houses flood or burn to the ground and planes break up in mid-air—lazy, often drunken tradesmen who half-ass their jobs so they can call it a day.

      No. Put them to work even they can’t screw up—the backbreaking farm work they insist white people won’t do.

  8. Officially, we are told that due to the potential for abuse information on the AI necessary to replicate results is not being released at the time.

    So either this is a hoax or they’re waiting for Beijing to make them a reasonable offer.
