There's an irony here, but I can't quite put my finger on it... Maybe if I pay them $20 a month, their AI will spot it? #meta #AI #artificialintelligence #fail

AI narrative:
If it works, it's a revolutionary technology.
If it fails, users need training.

Now that most places appear to be banning anyone under the age of 16 from social media, we can stop the censorship of words on social media, right? Right? We can start talking like actual adults now? #petpeeve

Anthropomorphize much? To be empathic, they need not only understand the words but need to be able to equate them to actual lived experience. The AI cannot learn emotion by proxy because it cannot experience it.

Free telephone number services can be such a scam. Pay $9 a week to remove ads, get voice mail etc... Or better yet, you can willingly watch hundreds of ads that we will pay you $0.01 each to watch ($1.80 an hour if you're super lucky)... There's a reason I still love you Google Voice ;) #cellphones
