What a junk article. Link bait. "Humans can't understand" is ambiguous, and the article wants you to believe this means "above human comprehension," when really it just means "makes up some new language that we could absolutely reverse engineer."
What a load of horseshit.<p>Here's what you need to do before publishing an article on AI:<p>1. Hire an expert that actually knows this stuff
2. Have him read the article
3. Throw the article out when he tells you to throw it out
4. Feel shame<p>Stop writing these imbecilic, clickbaity shit articles about AI. This leaves people that don't know anything about AI or neural networks thinking that we're somehow developing skynet, instead of just writing a computer program which essentially implements a mathematical model that continually adjusts itself based on some metric.
> But at the same time, it feels shortsighted, doesn’t it? If we can build software that can speak to other software more efficiently, shouldn’t we use that? Couldn’t there be some benefit?<p>Then why are we putzing about with strings in the first place? Let them use binary formats if that's the goal.
> “Getting the data into a format that makes sense for machine learning is a huge undertaking right now and is more art than science. English is a very convoluted and complicated language and not at all amicable for machine learning.”<p>Is there an advantage to using less irregular human languages - say German - in machine learning?
