Artificial Intelligence is learning how to write online restaurant reviews

excerpt from Axios:

Researchers at the University of Chicago taught AI to write realistic restaurant reviews using Yelp reviews as an example. The reviews aren’t written perfectly, but it’s tough to spot the difference between real and AI-generated reviews.

Why it matters: People take reviews seriously — the researchers cited studies that found a one-star increase on Yelp can boost restaurant revenue by 5 to 9%. AI-generated reviews, if negative or revealed to be fake, could be a blow to review-oriented websites like Yelp and Amazon, and the products and services that rely on them.

Especially if they are using Yelp to teach the little AIs.

This sucks. Why can’t universities do more productive research than teaching how to cheat.

Birravino in Red Bank is already using the program.

And if you’ve ever read one of my reviews you will know it’s not a machine.

Machines aren’t that cranky.

There’s a great tumblr recording the various endeavours of a neural network (AI). It includes recipes and it’s pretty hilarious.

I don’t really care about restaurant reviews. For the first time I’m there I usually go for lunch. I walk by and look at the plates that the people are eating and either go oh shit or oh goody.
