I read it multiple times, read your comment and clicked on the article and I still got it wrong. I saw Robot ear cats and couldn’t make sense of it. But clicking in the article and seeing the title in huge whatever sizes fonts made it click. I think it’s the small font sizes in HN causing our brains to ‘fill in the blanks’.

Then you complain about the Rs in strawberry...

  That's exactly why we complain about the Rs in strawberry. We can get funny-stupid human interpretations all day long. What we can't get is cold facts, and isn't that what was promised by AI (at least, before ChatGPT was released in 2022)? Unfortunately we fed this current iteration of AI with human behaviour (not only that: human behaviour on the Internet...)

An entity dealing only in cold facts is not intelligent, it's a theorem prover- extremely narrow, rigid and incapable of interpretation and insight- basically of bridging the smallest gap of knowledge. That's exactly what intelligence isn't.

Literally same, saw “Robot cat ears”. Somehow I not only misread the words, but flipped the order as well, multiple times. For those who need help recovering from the crushing self induced disappointment, here’s some brainwave controlled cat ears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqSZg0oiYuM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqSZg0oiYuM
