Today’s “Word of the Day” is “ape” and it is a verb meaning “imitate, emulate, mimic, copy, echo, parrot, mock”.
Example Sentence: We hear the future is going to be all about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML). We wonder what these machines are learning. We learn from the company we keep. And in human company, we fear machines are picking up our negative traits. They learn to laze around and ape our whimsical behaviour. At least with a human, you can appeal to his goodness. He may relent. With a machine, it is like hitting your head against a stone wall.
This word is present in The Hindu article Machines in bad company and click here to read it.
