[LINK] Talking about AI

[Bernard Robertson-Dunn]

How to confuse AI - be sarcastic.
I imagine being sarcastic using slang metaphors would present problems.

Slashdot:
Why Sarcasm Is Such a Problem In Artificial Intelligence

A new paper from researchers in India and Australia, "Automatic Sarcasm 
Detection: A Survey," [1] highlights one of the strangest and ironically 
most humorous facets of the problems in machine learning and humour. The 
paper outlines ten years of research efforts from groups interested in 
detecting sarcasm in online sources. It details the ways that academia 
has approached the sarcasm problem, including flagging authors and 
ring-fencing sarcastic data. However, the report concludes that the 
solution to the problem is not necessarily one of pattern recognition 
[PDF] [2], but rather a more sophisticated matrix that has some ability 
to understand context.
