     @arstechnica I might need to buy a few of these as future Christmas/birthday presents for the AI cheerleaders in my life.

     @arstechnica AI-driven clock that cannot tell the time right even though it's connected to the fucking Internet.

     21st century, and I feel like we went back to caves.

     The way AI works: it reads a lot of text, and learns to gues: 'what is the next word in this sentence'. Then the algoritm starts making it's own text.
     So it is not based on providing information like 'what time is it', truth don't matter.
     If you feed an AI robot with only platitudes, false information and fake news, that will also come out of it. And than you have a real Donald Trump.

     @arstechnica and it doesn’t rhyme well either. Forced rhymes? That’s amateur hour!
