Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your

Your alligator example is actually not an example for intelligence. It’s an example for learned behaviour, which is easily something a machine can replicate (and that’s basically what AI does). One human? Maybe danger, also not worth the risk. Two humans? Same. Three humans? Heard, attack mode.
And I am also not talking about some possible future AI, but about today’s AI. Today’s AI can’t understand. Today’s AI can’t create anything new, it just replicates. That’s why it’s relatively easy to spot even the best AI art (if you’re not a boomer on facebook, who thinks images of Crab Jesus are really made by a human), because it is full of small errors. And I am also pretty sure that you have no idea how today’s AI actually works.
That’s the point, a machine program can’t be taught to recognize the difference, because that would mean that the program would understand the difference. You can tell it not to use specific satirical websites like The Onion as a source at all, but if The Onion would create a new website with a different name and get it popular enough, AI would use that new website as a source, until a human programmer would tell it not to.
“Cats and dogs cannot understand” also isn’t true, both cats and dogs can solve abstract problems and “think outside the box”, AI can’t. AI can’t create something new.
And it never will be the finished product, because AI (or what they call AI these days, it technically isn’t, because it’s not intelligent) simply can’t differentiate between a credible source and something that’s satire.
Well, York atleast is a city in England. New Jersey was named after a channel island that’s mostly known for being a tax haven nowadays and that the Brits considered so unimportant that they didn’t take it back from the Germans during or after D-Day in 1944, it was occupied until the Nazis capitulated on May 9th, 1945. But I think Paris, Texas got the worse deal. It was named after a French city.
Insert barely relevant Trump comment here. Just to get it out of the way.
