It is complete and utter horse shit they are trying to patent things invented decades ago.

2018/081089, "Processing text sequences using neural networks", Priority date: 26 Oct 2016: "In one aspect, a system is configured to receive an input sequence of source embeddings representing a source sequence of words in a source natural language and to generate an output sequence of target embeddings representing a target sequence of words"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_neural_network (look at the reference dates)

This is so extremely anti-competitive. There cannot be goodwill and trust between people and corporations. There is no trust.

From the universal lack of a response on this board of anyone excited to read the patent applications to learn how to get AI to make sounds and such, clearly the US patent system is no longer serving that purpose.

It hasn't served that purpose in decades...

Is it that bad in CS? In my field I'm constantly reading old patents for recipes to solve my problems. But I guess a lot of patents in chemicals are expired comparatively.
