The poor quality of the article just shows how far away general AI is. This is my favourite quote:
All this will be challenging, because, as Johnson said, the moon is made of rubble. "With a push, rock does up," said Johnson. "And then you'll just have to wait for the moon to bounce back to earth"
No sane person would believe this article. The program has read through more content, than any human could in their entire life, yet this is the best it could come up with. It clearly lacks the ability to understand what it writes. It uses interesting language and grammar, which does sound genuine, but the content is utter bollocks, like someone who's waffling on and on. Perhaps it would be more convincing if it wrote some celebrity gossip, which doesn't require so much real understanding to get right? Perhaps that will be more dangerous and all it takes is a small proportion of the content it generates, to fool a tiny percentage of the population to cause trouble.
By the way, I think AI is great. I'm not pissing on anyone's achievements. It's brilliant how far AI progressed using pattern recognition and simple trial and error learning. The next step will be understanding and it won't have to be great at it, to do great things. Imagine an AI system with the level of understanding of a three year old. The huge memory and sheer data processing power of a computer would partly make up for the lack of reasoning.
