| From the two responses I've had it would seem that my comment is going to be misunderstood and misinterpreted. Fair enough. I could write essays on this (in fact, I have when I took Philosophy as a minor to accompany my Pure Maths and Computer Science courses) and comments here just aren't going to cut it. As I say, fair enough. The responses I'm getting from it have a consistent feel. They are either reciting facts, or they are totally non-committal. Here: "I don't like picking favorites. Everything
that is something regarded with special favor
or liking seems good to me."
That has all the feeling of a canned response.I know the advances that have been made, I know how impressive this thing actually is, I know how hard it is to do this, and I know the work that must have gone into it. And even knowing all of that, when it makes what are to humans trivial grammatical mistakes, it takes away from all that and reduces it to a machine. My comments are not intended to diminish the accomplishment, but to highlight a place where the illusion gets broken. If you have a large, totally white canvas with one small, off-center black dot, what will people look at? So please understand that this is not a dismissal of the work, or of the achievement, but a highlighting of one specific point that disproportionally detracts from the effectiveness. To continue to provide feedback to try to help, it just rendered like this: http://www.solipsys.co.uk/images/acuman.png Latest Firefox on latest Ubuntu. edit: That's just a grab of part of the screen, I can do the whole window if you'd like to see the context. Edit: It would be nice to have some details about how it is doing what it's doing. They might be there, but I haven't had time to rummage much, as I'm in the middle of other things. Someone mentioned AIML. I will be back to look again later. |
