Great interview here.
Turn on closed captioning. Go to 12:39. Is that anything like what she said? One of the applications of real time closed captioning is to turn speech into searchable text for intelligence purposes. Many slips between the cup and the lip! The NSA does not listen to what is said. It is converted to script and then searched. Don't cha think?
Amusing translation failure but there is a bigger tell: She has an accent but real time captioning also looks at meaning in context from speech to text. Look at the captioned coherence quality of thought (as well as words) expressed by Glenn in closed caption compared to hers. Can a computer detect dumb? The objective answer is it does if it cannot present good literal/contextual subjective value sense out of what is said. The algorithm looks at more than words to extract meaning.
Perhaps it is the accent? I am too kind. Put an dumb meter alongside what is shown on the screen closed caption translation. Turn off the noise on FOX and try to read the captions?
Closed caption on TV is interesting. It enables hearing impaired to read what is being said. Was that really the public benefit that drove its development? It converts speech to text. Does it better all the time with artificial intelligence applied to intelligence gathering.
For example: Jon Stewart has been using a collage of different people (politicians) saying the same thing. Bang! Bang! Bang! Like a bunch of parrots. How dey do dat? Not some intern watching TV all day writing it down every time they hear it. Just word search all the closed captions appearing in the day's video media! Connect it back to the video and put it all together. Not just media today but any prior media with closed caption or media produced before there was closed caption.
Must have put a lot of media researchers out of work.
Everythng said on Fox News is captioned. Someday a computer program will tell us it is like Jon Stewart says: Bullshit Mountain
