A distasteful result of data mining, "artificial intelligence" and hospital advertising:
Last night in some ad-hoc Internet wanderings I ended up at a YouTube video of the touching ending of the movie "Ghost" with Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze.
A computer-generated ad popped up, advertising the prowess of a local big-name hospital in treating pancreatic cancer.
Considering the context: how gross.
So much for cybernetic "artificial intelligence" replacing the human mind.
