    What four-word phrase do computer programmers reduce to GIGO?

    Question #75635. Asked by ploomis. (Feb 08 07 6:57 PM)

    		"Garbage In, Garbage Out." It means that if invalid data is entered in a computer program, the resulting output will also be invalid.

    		GIGO is a euphemistic way of saying that a computer is only as smart or accurate as its user.

    With the advent of AI, artificial intelligence, GIGO will soon be a thing of the past. Computers are on the road to questioning user input!

    		Frog Porn. Sounds ultra kinky and weird! But how does one keep them from hopping away?
