So, AI detectives, are you ready to find out the truth? 🎊🧐
Most of you pointed to phrase #3… and you are RIGHT! 🎉 The robot gave itself away! 🤖☕️
Although the phrase about ‘electric sheep’ is a cool reference to Philip Dick, ‘coffee made from binary code’ is a typical hallucination of a neural network trying to combine the incompatible. 🧠⚙️
🎮 How does this work in computational linguistics?
While you were looking for the mistake, you already touched on the magic of NLP (Natural Language Processing). Applied linguistics teaches machines not just to ‘throw around’ words, but to understand semantic connections. 🔗🧬
To prevent the machine from writing nonsense, we use:
✂️Tokenisation — we cut sentences into ‘atoms’ (words and symbols).
🔮 N-grams — we teach AI to predict the next word (like T9, but much smarter!).
📐 Vector representations — we convert the meaning of a word into a coordinate in 3D space. For example, for a computer, the words ‘coffee’ and ‘tea’ are very close to each other! ☕️🍵
