Artificial Intelligence Is Just That – Artificial

And since we’re on the subject of trolls:

Microsoft’s Teen Chat Bot Tay spewed racist comments on Twitter so the company shut her down after less than a day.

“Tay” was apparently supposed to be a natural language learning AI.  Microsoft blame its failure on trolls who appear to have rapidly figured out how to manipulate it.  Apparently this AI was as dumb as a post.

In this case the trolls may have performed a useful service.  They’ve demonstrated that language and intelligence does not neatly reduce to algorithms, regardless of what Google and Microsoft engineers might believe.

Artificial Intelligence seems to be a bit like Artificial sweetener or hydrogenated vegetable oil.  It only sort of tastes real.
