I like how two of the options to this one (http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/84291...), of a guy at the gym, are

"a woman in a kitchen, leaps in the air while attempting to balance a glass cup in one hand."

and

"a young man playing wii in front of a large knife."

I was going to write a negative post about how singularity is still a long while away based on this caption: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/84542... but then I realized that I cant come up with a description of what is going there myself. Ill get you next time CPU!

Because you have never experienced what it is happening in the picture?

The singularity is not going to be an AI revolution, it's when we decode the human brain's signals.

Are these supposed to be funny? http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/92679... "a man wielding an electric razor is gleefully shaving away another man ' s hair ." Hilarious! I think they've stumbled on computer-generated comedy. Some funny stuff in there.

That's from the "Nearest Caption in the Training Dataset". Which means it found the most similar image, and that image had that caption.

No. That is not how it works. Read the papers again.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This one http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/82676... has a tag "fingering"

http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/80282... It must be making some very broad generalisations to come up with the tag 'homosexuals'...

It weirded me out, too.

The only image I tried (http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/79355...) is tagged "lesbianism".

It very clearly says "Nearest Caption in the Training Dataset". The generated labels are below it.
