- How AI will make the Semantic Web possible. (The AI Maze)
It won't. It will do the opposite - fill the web with plausible garbage to a degree that makes search engines utterly useless.
In fact, this is already happening.
R2-D2 was always an oddity because speech synthesis is a much simpler problem than speech recognition. And comprehension is a harder problem than just taking dictation.

- Clarkesworld - a science fiction magazine - has temporary halted submissions due to AI spam. (Twitter)
This is the 25th and a half century after all.
- Resist this, ya bastard: COE2-2hexyl is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that doesn't seem to trigger the evolution of resistance in bacteria. (Lancet)
It cures infections in mice, so it seems to work, and it's designed to make multiple simultaneous attacks on the bacterial cell membrane so unless it runs into a microscopic Rasputin its victims, even those that survive, aren't likely to give rise to a more resistant new generation.
Disclaimer: There lived a certain germ in Russia long ago;
He was small and round and he gave you polio.

"fill the web with plausible garbage to a degree that makes search engines utterly useless"
All those poor wikipedos, out of non-paying jobs. And all the poo-sites, full of garbage cut-n-pasted from wikipedia also out of jobs. But I'm almost certain that AI can't dominate the YTP-MLP video market. Almost.
