Are you watching this “Alien Earth” show?
No.
OK, first of all, it’s so good. It’s my favorite thing I’ve seen this year. Second of all, one of the subplots is that there is a character who is synthetic, humanoid person, and she has mastered the alien’s language. So she can communicate with the language, presumably using some sort of machine learning.
Yeah.
