Cats According to Robots

so I’ve been having fun playing with ConceptNet, a semantic network designed to help computers understand language. Here’s what the robots have figured out about cats: Properties of cats en gentle ➜ en black ➜ en hairy ➜ en aggressive ➜ en annoying ➜ en dumb ➜ en fun to watch ➜ en good at hiding ➜ en hard to understand ➜ en independent ➜ en indifferent to uprisings ➜ en needy ➜ en persian ➜ en popular for their sweet faces ➜ en smart ➜ en soft ➜ Parts of cat en The tail ➜ en a whisker ➜

A screenshot shows ConceptNet’s robot-generated properties and parts of cats, including the bizarre claim that cats are “indifferent to uprisings.” The joke is that a semantic network produces mostly ordinary cat traits but adds an oddly specific and unsettling political conclusion, making it useful as an absurd reaction to strange or overconfident AI reasoning.
