Computer AI soon to be ahead of real humans

August 28th, 2007

But not because speech recognition has made any remarkable leaps. Rather, humans seem to be degrading more and more.

Compare this:

Q: Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?

I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have ~~[bounds?!]~~maps [apparently] and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and Iraq everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries (*ding*) so we will be able to build up our future for (*cut off*).

With this:

Dear aunt, let’s set so double the killer delete select all

As you can see, it’s just a matter of time until the average artificial intelligence will be better at natural language parsing than us mere mortals.

I first saw that video the other day, and my only response was “…”

It’s like Idiocracy, except for real.

But she is at least much more prettier than a computer.

I reminds me of this video of dumb german models:

That video is simultaneously sad and hilarious.

Prettiness is in the eye of the beholder. I think she’s disgusting looking, with that fake tan, fake hair, and general “plastic” appearance…

I wouldn’t call her disgusting, but I don’t find her attractive at all.

As I stated elsewhere:

I didn’t say she’s ugly. She’s not. But underneath that ridiculous layer of makeup all over the place is nothing but an above-average person, and surely not the best South Carolina has to offer.

I love it when she holds the map of Germany upside down. =D

Your Own Thoughts

I'd love to hear your input. Just try to stick to a few rules:

Please, think before you post. It's not a chatroom — you have plenty of time to avoid gratuitous abbreviations (no "u" for "you", please) and to proofread. Everyone benefits from comments which have had an extra minute of thinking.
Though I virtually never delete a comment, I do reserve the right to do so for ones I deem irrelevant, unthoughtful, as trolling or as flaming, or otherwise hostile.
Unfortunately, you cannot currently edit. When necessary, do feel free to double-post; I will merge your posts together, and correct mistakes for you if you so wish.
Likewise, you cannot delete. You can, however, ask me to do it by contacting me. Please only do so if truly necessary.
I reserve the right not to approve comments with bogus names or e-mail addresses, but will typically leave them published as well.

Before you comment for the first time (or, after you have deleted cookies), you will have to answer a little challenge to prove that you are not a spammer.

Comments are written in Markdown.
