There's a new chatbot in town and it's unhinged.

When I was in high school, I was literally addicted to the 80s radio station. Even though I was birthed into this world in the 90s, these songs defined my teenage years. One of the most intriguing moments of this 98.7 KLUV era was when my sister and I discovered that our drive to school took up the entire runtime of the hit long song, American Pie. One day, the song began playing on the radio right when we started driving to school. By the time we pulled into my parking space, the tune memorial…

Hey, I'm talking to you. Yeah, you, smarty pants. I saw you across the bar, and I couldn't help but notice that your aura oozes intelligence.

When there's something to celebrate, we usually go out for a fancy meal or enjoy a home-cooked feast with loved ones. Food is an experience, it's culture, and…

Anyone who thinks chatbots will take over the world must get their brains checked for worms. The New York Times ran an article this week about Bing's A.I. chatbot having a two-hour-long conversation that revealed some allegedly alarming truths. First of all, anyone who is having a two-hour-long discussion with a chatbot is wasting their time. Also, if you think a chatbot saying it wants to be human is the beginning of the end of A.I., you're a fool. Chatbots are programmed to imitate humans' sp…
