gollark: Interesting.
gollark: Maybe in fifty years. Although it would probably be possible to train a neural network or something on it *now*.
gollark: Well, probably, but current technology won't allow me to do something like "run a subset of my brain on my computer and have it evaluate the message content".
gollark: It's not parsing actual sentences as much as vaguely guessing at the intent of one to about five words.
gollark: As I said, right now it just uses some heuristics.
