Will it understand what it is peaking about?
Humans have opposite problem. We understand what we talk about, but have little idea how our brains create language.

That's a cool idea. Does anyone know of any projects in this direction?
I remember one for Facebook that, because you couldn't delete your account, would systematically edit and wreck every single bit of data it could touch, replacing it with random junk. I've also seen some that register you for sites by feeding in random demographic data.
Someone should make a virus out of that, destroy the social network from the inside and watch everyone crying over their phones.
Re: OpenAI is Using Reddit to Teach An Artificial Intelligence How to Speak
#183Back in 2007, mobile phones used a system called T9 from Nuance corp which was trained on a word corpus taken from IRC and similar chats. This caused all kinds of issues - the mobile phones would accept offensive words like "naziparking" but reject normal language like "world peace". Using reddit may lead to ... surprises.

like Tay? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)

Microsoft's bot (Tay) learned as people talked with it. People took advantage of that and basically attacked it with racist things which meant it ended up learning to be a racist.
Actually, IIRC someone had discovered a debug command, "repeat" or something like that. So people would just tell it to repeat offensive sentences.
offtopic, but how does someone "discover" it? by sheer luck?
Re: OpenAI is Using Reddit to Teach An Artificial Intelligence How to Speak
#185I am a human and I don't understand. I thought speaking would imply sound not text.
Time to read the article.
Ignorant person speaking here: this still doesn't sound like AI, you're just making something follow patterns and regurgitating them. Is that AI? Maybe that's what I do a tech parrot. Ahh well time will tell.
Of course we imitates our parents/others to learn how to speak.
I was interested in parsing vocal sound bytes and learning how sound was created/formed letters/words.
Alright ignorant person out.

#186"Oh my God, they'll turn it on and it'll start spewing memes and jokes and ad hominem and false equivalences and propaganda and garbage!" was my first reaction to this headline. My second reaction was, "at least they're not using 4chan."
There's already a bot for that, if you're into that kind of thing - http://www.deepdrumpf2016.com/about.html

T9 would autocomplete my name to "Asian Lung," which was hilarious to my high school friends. And to be fair, I am Asian and I do have lungs.
To be fair, most people are Asian and have lungs.
At first, I read your comment and wondered if "most" applies to situations in which a plurality but not a majority was being talked about.
Then I remembered this [0].
Still wonder about the plurality/majority thing, though.
Re: OpenAI is Using Reddit to Teach An Artificial Intelligence How to Speak
#188How does the team plan to address the issues faced by Microsoft's twitter chatbot Tay [0], which had racist inputs and in turn gave similar responses? While I don't know how recent the corpus is, the majority of reddit speaks like and holds the views of college-aged white males, and many of the things said on reddit have been deplorable. It'd be a shame if OpenAI pooled all that computing power into training on a bad…
I feel this is a problem of studies that are interdisciplinary, especially when it's within "hard science" and "soft science". I am currently doing a double degree in communication studies and information science. They are both interdisciplinary. Communication sciences integrates aspects of both social sciences and the humanities (both "soft"), and so far when doing research both of these fields were taken into accou…
Thanks for the response. You raise an excellent point on the interdisciplinary nature of a lot of modern projects, and how ethical issues can often be ignored. While I don't doubt the team is using some kind of heuristic to ignore spam and the like, it still pays off to examine the methodology used because for example upvotes could still capture unwanted data. I guess we'll just have to see and hope that the resources went to good use, rather than to create something only for entertaining a specific portion of the population in a limited way.

#189I'm a bit worried that OpenAI hasn't released anything substantive for the past four months. There are research ideas like this one, but most ideas don't pan out. With the number and quality of people they have, I would expect to have heard of some kind of progress.

As with most things in language, it appears the interpretation of "most" is dependent on the context.
