Two computer scientists at the University of Washington have developed a software program that can be programmed to recognize a type of double entendre and transform the innocent phrase into a lewd joke. It’s getting really bad when the nerds need help from a software program to make dirty jokes. :p

The system turned out to be around 70% accurate, but the pair say this is deceptively low because much of the training data did not consist of TWSS jokes, and with a more even data set it could achieve 99.5% precision
 
I should go around the UW CSE building asking about this. A bot that is truly a troll.... sorry humans, you have been replaced.
 
Actually from a pure programming standpoint that is pretty cool. Getting computers to recognize "natural" language is a huge challenge and even IBM's Watson had trouble with it from time to time.
