Here’s what Microsoft’s new bot thinks of Kai
Microsoft has been churning out experiments in artificial intelligence for a while now.
Last month brought us a Twitter bot named Tay. The whole thing went sideways when the account started spewing racist and sexist nonsense. The latest, CaptionBot, is more benign and more fun.
It’s pretty simple: plug in a photo and CaptionBot will try to tell describe what’s in it as well as a human can.
Like we did last year with Microsoft’s age-guessing bot, we put CaptionBot through its paces with a few pictures of me. It did OK!
