Looks like the lights are on and nobody home with the API all the negative sentiment indications are now howlingly wrong.
I agree it was not accurate in all cases. The api is in beta but it was fun to use.
I am trying to make a living at intelligent systems and I have a lot of fear that APIs like this, particularly when they come from the "best and brightest" companies like Google, Microsoft and IBM, create skepticism for artificial intelligence and language technology, and thus create a "market for lemons" situation that directly endangers my ability to make a living.
This verifies my plan to write-in Bernie Sanders. Good idea.
