Below is a selection of my tweets on or about what I consider to be confusions, misunderstandings and blunders, both in the media and popular culture, about topics related to my research (such as – but not limited to – technology, coding, games, AI, procedurality, language etc.).
Links may be either directly to said confusing content or to a related commentary/post on them. Enjoy!
This is from my research-related twitter account maquinacriadora, spanning from around Sep/2015 to Sep/2016.1
Like anything else made by humans, every algorithm has a creator, or at least someone responsible for it. https://t.co/lYWLcZw6MN

1 of 2: "No Man’s Sky is what happens when you take the human soul out of a game and let the computer run the show." https://t.co/lhDgr4KxMy

2 of 2: Criticism about lack of variety is valid. But to oppose computer X human like that is simplistic and naive. Humans make algorithms.

Most of the games considered expressive are not *procedurally* expressive. Example: That Dragon, Cancer https://t.co/0p1NVj7dls
— Máquina Criadora (@maquinacriadora) February 2, 2016
(…) Not criticizing the game, just a comment on the form. It's OK to have traditional expression in digital media. https://t.co/joghW7IGUn
— Máquina Criadora (@maquinacriadora) February 2, 2016
(…) Also, there are many games that *are* procedurally expressive. More than ever. Still, very little yet.

Google's AI beats human at Go (Nature) https://t.co/xx9rtfFmva
PS: more impressive than Deep Blue, since it's using Neural Networks (…)— Máquina Criadora (@maquinacriadora) January 30, 2016
(…) i.e., doesn't use a particular algorithm (like Deep Blue), but a "deep learning" approach – how we think the human mind works.
— Máquina Criadora (@maquinacriadora) January 30, 2016
(…) I still think we can never really compare humans and computers (or anything) that way. Even a rock "beats" a human (in being still).
— Máquina Criadora (@maquinacriadora) January 30, 2016
(…) Still, huge leap for AI. PS: in March they play against world's best player for U$1mil – for the human. Computer couldn't care less ;)

(…) But what are the variables, criteria etc? The fact it uses neural networks does NOT necessarily imply human logic ("learn", "play")

- This list doesn’t include particularly extreme or humorous cases of tech-cluelessness. Also, note that, much like this blog, my research twitter is an informal channel of communication. For more academically rigorous content, please refer to my PhD thesis, Masters dissertation or articles. [↩]
- Testing twitter-based post. Not sure if this will work (without breaking in the near future). Also, I’m pretty sure this is not the best way to organize and present this (probably I should have tagged these posts with a certain # and use that to filter my feed. Oh well.). [↩]
