When I worked at Facebook (now more than a year ago) I remember the AI team had set up a series of demo units for anyone to try out. Small devices running "AI demoes" which were meant to show progress on the technology in some quirky and fun ways. Every single demo they had on display just would not work. One demo, for example, had a prompt to ask the machine something about a photograph. "What color is the table?" or "What animal is sitting on the floor?" No matter how you asked the question or what types of questions you asked, the demo would comically never get it right. "What color is the cat on the floor?" would return "A mug!" in response.
