Over the past week, I read a couple of pieces over AI and the problem of getting it 'trained' to recognize cynicism or sarcasm. A fair number of code-people or programmers.....will admit it's going to be nearly impossible to teach some system to recognize these human features. One individual even admitted that getting humans to readily recognize sarcasm is pretty difficult.
You can go back 2,000 years and find that the Greeks were fairly into sarcasm. They recognized it's values, and potential.
The same story can be said over the Romans, and their use of cynicism.
In recent years, I'd say our general weekly use of both traits have doubled-up. We use these almost routinely now.
So I drift back to AI and ask the question....if you can't train AI to recognize these situations, how can AI take over our lives?
