IAN CHILLAG ON NPR'S "WAIT, WAIT... DON'T TELL ME" BLOG SEZ
GOOGLE SCRIBE IS TOTALLY CRAZY.
"HAVE YOU PLAYED WITH
GOOGLE SCRIBE YET? IT AUTO-COMPLETES WHATEVER YOU'RE TYPING. IT MAKES ODD CHOICES. I WENT AHEAD AND PLUGGED IN THE FIRST FEW WORDS OF SOME CLASSIC POLITICAL LINES TO SEE IF THE GOOGLE ROBOTS WOULD DO AS GREAT SPEECHWRITERS HAD DONE IN THE PAST. THEY DID NOT.
* "THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET AROUND THEM."
* "TIPPECANOE AND TYLER AREA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK CITY AREA DIRECTORY OF ALL STORES AT THE SITE OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. EARTHQUAKES."
* "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THEIR HOMES AND THEIR LIVES ARE NOTHING."
* "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME ANYTHING WHAT WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN THEIR CHILDREN?"
THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF CRAZY. MAYBE I'M PROJECTING, BUT IT SEEMS A LITTLE DEPRESSED, TOO.
IF YOU TRY IT OUT, LET US KNOW WHAT YOU END UP WITH. OR AS GOOGLE SCRIBE PUTS IT, "IF YOU TRY IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE ME TOO MUCH."
SO I TRIED IT WITH "INCEPTION LULZ IS." HERE IS WHAT GOOGLE SCRIBE THINKS OF US. (I PUT IN THE PERIOD AFTER "FUTURE.")
"INCEPTION LULZ IS AN ECM VIRUS IN THE GUINEA PIG AND RABBIT AND THE GRENADINES WITH THE ACTUAL DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS ITEM WITH OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD OF THE LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM WITH A VIEW TO SHARE VIDEOS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO ENJOY A GOOD MEAL AND A DRINK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE FUTURE. THE FOLLOWING CONTENT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE YOUTUBE COMMUNITY AS BEING POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE."
OK, WHO HERE IS IN THE GRENADINES?!
