    Sarcasm is going to be the hardest thing for AI to understand, especially if people stop using /s

    That’s why it was legit suggesting people add glue to cheese on pizza to make it gooey.

    Someone made a joke a decade ago on Reddit, and it was up voted because humans knew it was a joke.

    AI saw that. Saw the up votes and engagement, and assumed it was a good idea people liked.

      For AI?

      There are (normal, smart) people that are incapable of understanding it.

      And I don’t mean not having enough context to understand it, I mean the simplest things.

      I have a college like that. She learned to recognise the blank expression on my face when she immediately starts explaining to me how it was physically impossible for me to do what I just said & just goes “ohh, that was sarcasm probably, right?” … I however still get surprised by her (eg her questioning my morning city commuting abilities of arriving at the office 5 minutes before I left home if I drive fast enough through the traffic … ok, not the best example, but the fucking normal/everyday/intuitive physics of it, how could you even start questioning that?).

      On the other hand, I find witty fast sarcasm kinda hot.
