Scientists have made an AI that they think is too dangerous to release

The algorithm, GPT-2, was trained on some 8 million web pages, according to the new research. Given a prompt, GPT-2 is tasked with predicting the next word based how those words have been used on the websites it read. In the end, the algorithm churns out passages of text that are far more coherent than past attempts to build AI with contextual knowledge of language.
