For those who say we shouldn't pay too much attention to urban legends about neural network failures, here's a real-life example of neural networks translating "inorganic cat litter" as "in organic cat litter" and thereby creating a real-life half-billion-dollar dirty bomb that genuinely exploded. https://jonathanturley.org/2014/11/21/kitty-litter-dirty-bomb-new-mexico-nuclear-disposal-plant-causes-500-million-of-damage-by-using-wrong-kind-of-kitty-litter/ https://jonathanturley.org/2014/11/21/kitty-litter-dirty-bom... This is a hasty link, IIRC the error happened when someone read out instructions aloud to someone else took who was taking notes. Yes, that badly behaving neural network(s) was human, and therefore far more sophisticated than any we can build yet. Which makes the problem worse and more real, not better or less real.
