A large number of people are talking today about this article. In it, Facebook announces that it has built and open-sourced Blender, its "largest-ever open-domain chatbot." The reviews are mixed. After trolling through the training logs, Tomer Ullman writes, "1. Clearly some 'humans' are bots. 2. Some of this probably wouldn't get through an IRB." Others questioned the wisdom of basing its training set on Reddit posts. Jesse Lehrich comments, "Facebook has a new chatbot prone to lying. Or as they call it... hallucinating knowledge."
