ok, but that doesn't change the fact that this article is about some
guy trying to create a controversial topic to create publicity for
himself.

it's funny he tries to suggest that something accepts random inputs
isn't an algorithm. umm what? where did he come up with that? the
world excepts 'random' inputs [us] and functions according to laws
[algorithms].
