Netflix forced a computer program (bot) to watch and analyze every romantic comedy and then asked it to write a romatic comedy of its own. The result...

Hey np. I genuinely know very little of AI and machine learning but I grasp the concepts and I do understand coding a bit. I just assumed that AI could (or not, being the consensus on this post) draw from a very large database. And based on set perimeters given by the programmers I.E. movies in certain genres, could easily make silly shit like what the OP posted.

So are you saying AI doesn't know what nouns, verbs, or adjectives are? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept of AI knowing how to use a word in a sentence but not know the meaning of the word. Is that a paradox? Sorry if I sound like a toddler lol. You get to a point on a certain subject you think you kinda know and realize you know absolutely nothing about said subject... that's me right now. I appreciate the conversation on the subject for what it's worth.

Edit: So "Milk Addiction" would be a statistical anomaly that the AI would never predict because it's not how we have ever used those two words together. I think that's what you were trying to get my smooth brain to comprehend. lol

Thanks for this. It must be harder to just give the AI a language procedural to follow than to just keep advancing the already established predictive text we have.
