bare-bones/the bare bones

2023年02月21日 | 英単語
Gary Marcus and Ernest Davisの "Rebooting AI" を読んでいます。

Practically every time one of the tech titans puts out a press release, we get a reprise of this same phenomenon, in which a minor bit of progress is portrayed in many (mercifully not all) media outlets as a revolution. A couple of years ago, for example, Facebook introduced a bare-bones proof-of-concept program that read simple stories and answered questios about them. A slew of enthusiastic headlines followed, like "Facebook Thinks It Has Found the Secret to making Bots Less Dumb" (Slate) and "Facebook AI Software Learns and Answers Questions. Software able to read a synopsis of Lord of the Rings and answer questions about it could beef up Facebook search" (Technology Review).
