Microsoft paid money for this. A lot of money. And they gave it to us for free.

I'm looking at a demo of this paper right now, which is kind of interesting - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.11401.pdf - but... it relies, the same way most AI models do, on a tectonic amount of human curation effort that's gone on behind the scenes to make it work.

I mean, it's nice I guess, and there's some nice features in a low-K-threshold, high-quality-training-data situation, but it sure looks like this will all fall apart if you point it at large, unvetted or adversarial data sets.

I have to tell you, though, when the person putting on the demo explained that "since our model can also access weather APIs, it can even answer questions about the weather" I stared at my keyboard for a long time before thinking better of it.
@mhoye i also can access weather APIs. where's my venture capital
