Welcome to CS 370!
Video of the Day
Two AI agents on a phone call realize they’re both AI and switch to a superior audio signal ggwave
submitted by Teni Asade.
I think this is interesting in terms of considering not AI limitations
but instead human limitations in terms of what methods we have the
physical capacities to communicate with. I also saw a comment likening
it to two tourists switching to their native language and thought the
comparison to human behavior was interesting.
