(No Title)
From the Inq:
In the course of writing the book, [William Shatner] had talked to Ray Kurzweil, the father of voice recognition technology. While he was dictating a sentence something like “I have just talked to Ray Kurzweil,” the speech recognition engine translated Ray Kurzweil to Pakapakapaka.
He said he asked Ray what he should do about that and Kurzweil said, “Just say delete”. But when he said delete, it didn’t delete Pakapakapaka but just pasted delete after it. So he said delete again and now there were two deletes.
He said: “It [voice recognition software] can’t even spell the name of the person who invented it.”
“None of this shit works,” he said.
