This is an ad for facebook's chatbox. I am a computer scientist. The chatboxes pointed at each other are poisoning their own datasets by optimizing for what the average human conversation appears like, but they are no longer talking to humans. Look at the example used in the article.
Without a human involved, the chatbox is useless, as it can't teach itself what is being expected of it. It's essentially """"learning"""" that nonsense is an acceptable output.
I don't want to doubt Mx. @trezzscience, but this is a really funny article. Re-read the nonsense above and tell me youre scared of it.
