   But unexpected from an AI is good - in some instances.   
      
   Ex: A while back, they created a small AI that processed flavors and recommend   
   food combinations.  It came out with several very unexpected combinations that   
   turned out very tasty.

   I don't think you can unless you train AI on **all** content and we've   
   accurately tagged the content bias.   
      
   Today, we have groups that suppress certain viewpoints and amplify other   
   viewpoints.  Most AIs are trained by effectively letting them process the media   
   that's freely available - but that will have an inherit bias.

   Then they became successful and the Elitists wanted control.  And like every   
   time they've gotten control, they've completely messed things up.   
      
   China's economy is not doing so hot.  To the point where I've been seeing too   
   many articles about how it's close to collapse.
