AI lol

I've been keeping up with the progress of AI (Artificial Intelligence) for over a decade, and occasionally blogging about it. I'm talking about the AI that the general public knows about. I think AI, like every other form of technology, is so far ahead of what we're shown that we can't even comprehend it. 

 From what I've seen and heard, AI speech has greatly improved, from the robotic voice of Stephen Hawking and Speak and Spell, to almost human-sounding. Where it still lacks is vocal inflection- it thinks certain words and syllables should be accented (rasied in pitch) where they shouldn't be, but other than that you'd think it was a real person. Not quite yet, AI. 

 There's still some mistakes when it tries to translate speech to text, for Closed Captioning, and some of them are hilarious. I suggest watching a few YouTube videos with CC on, and see what AI thinks they're saying. It's really funny. Like text-to-speech, it's still getting better. Sometimes I think that AI has a sense of humor, but so far, until the Singularity that is, it seems to be accidental. Still it's funny. 

 One of the latest (and unsolicited) "perks" from AI is that my photos are being automatically tagged. I'd just as soon AI kept its virtual paws out of my personal shit, but we saw this coming for years and did nothing, so here we are. Without me asking, AI went and organized my photos into different files, and I noticed that it had created a new one titled "Happy Days." I doubt I'd make a file by that name, but whatever.

 The image that AI chose to highlight the folder was a titillating portion of a photo of an attractive young woman. As you can probably tell, in the lower, unseen portion of the photo, her breasts are exposed. I'm not big into porn, but I do love the female form. I'm a "breast man," and I've collected about half a dozen photos of women with what I consider to be amazing breasts. AI decided to put this fine sister, with her shirt unbuttoned, into the Happy Days file. Good one, AI.

 So why did AI do that? Does AI know enough to know that I love tits? I shouldn't be surprised. Or was it just random...a coincidence that happened to be hilarious? Sure, AI knows that I've looked at photos of naked women, but if it knows that I specifically love tits...well, I'll be danged. Guilty as charged, though. Accidental or not, AI gave me a good laugh. If it was on purpose, how did it know? Elephino. Happy Days to you.
