CMU AI Learning Common Sense By Watching the Internet 152
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from the Washington Post "Researchers are trying to plant a digital seed for artificial intelligence by letting a massive computer system browse millions of pictures and decide for itself what they all mean. The system at Carnegie Mellon University is called NEIL, short for Never Ending Image Learning. In mid-July, it began searching the Internet for images 24/7 and, in tiny steps, is deciding for itself how those images relate to each other. The goal is to recreate what we call common sense — the ability to learn things without being specifically taught."

They will become so uniquely endowed to find our porn for us, and we will revel in the birth of of a new age of porn. Eventually they will take over completely and start creating the porn to satisfy their never ending quench to catalog the resultant images.
At first the adult industry will happily bend towards the incredible efficiency and innovation the AI brings. Inevitably, the AI will branch out into mainstream society to fulfill its lust for perverted order.
It will be them that starts the war, but us that finds and burns every black leather couch out there....
