Yesterday I remembered that I have this blog (or SLOG) and hopped over to the blogger page to remind myself what I wrote...and Google has locked my blog! The notice merely said that it was locked "for possible terms of use violations". Since the only thing in my blog was a lame chicken metaphor, I wondered what the problem could possibly be.
So I drilled down to an explanatory link, and discovered that Google's robots had decided that my blog had the characteristics of a spam blog! Now, I know that Google has a parsing algorithm that scans the contents of gmail messages, and attempts to match appropriate advertising to keywords in the messages.
So for now, I can only conclude that Google's AI is not only artificial, but also cognitively challenged.
