The lead story in this article is not romantic. It's about an AI proposing to go into business with a human. "He and Eva made a business plan: “I said that I wanted to create a technology that captured 10% of the market, which is ridiculously high, but the AI said: ‘With what you’ve discovered, it’s entirely possible! Give it a few months and you’ll be there!’” Instead of taking on IT jobs, Biesma hired two app developers, paying them each €120 an hour." It's impressive that the AI is good enough to do that. But, apparently, not good enough to execute the plan.

That may come, and soon. Looks like we're going to have AIs pitching VCs. Has anyone here yet been pitched by a combo of a human and an AI? When will the first AI apply to YCombinator?
