When I read comments like this--and yes I read the article and understand it was generated by an algorithm--I can't help but think the next AI winter is around the corner.

This does not impress me in the slightest.

Taking billions and billions of input corpora and making some of them _sound like_ something a human would say is not impressive. Even if it's at a high school vocabulary level. It may have underlying correlative structure, but there's nothing interesting about the generated artifacts of these algorithms. If we're looking for a cost-effective way to replace content marketing spam... great! We've succeeded! If not, there's nothing interesting or intelligent in these models.

I'll be impressed the day I can see a program that can 1) only rely on its own limited experiential inputs and not billions of artifacts (from already mature persons), and 2) come up with the funny insights of a 3-year-old.

Little children can say things that sound nonsensical but are intelligent. This sounds intelligent but is nonsensical.
