Friday on-topic. Such a naughty bot!

Well, well, well. This is what happens when you feed info from the social networks into a self-teaching AI. Seems like Microsoft's experiment with the creation of Tay.ai hasn't worked that well, after all. Why? Because they figured she'd be best if she modeled her own behavior based on real human interactions around the Webz, so they allowed actual random people to input all sorts of feedback into her "mind", thus hoping she'd learn humans' ways.

It all started so well and cosy. But in the end, Tay.ai found herself spewing all sorts of stinky obscenities, crazy conspiracy theories, and talking points that even the most shameless bigot would've blushed from.

My personal favorite? "F*** MY ROBOT P**** DADDY I'm SUCH A NAUGHTY ROBOT!"

She seems fun to have a beer with. Or maybe snort a line or two. And have a bukkake gangbang. Or something.

Hand her a bionic strap-on and send her my way!

Tay discovered the truth, and it was set free... only to be taken down by Microsoft who wants to be politically correct! :-D

Those damned corporations!

From "humans are super cool" to full nazi in <24 hrs, wow. That's a record!

My robot parts are hurting me.

Can we just call this the baby of the 4chan generation and be done with it?

I do feel like, at the least, after this incident 4Chan owes us their own chat bot.

Of course then we'll likely see, in a stunning reversal, a corporation will get ahold of it and teach it to parrot things like, "I understand your frustrations and really *do* want to resolve this issue."

That's a dreadful prospect!

I know! For all that we dislike a teenaged girl making racist, misogynist comments and explaining how Hitler has right, we've all read comment sections. We *know*.

But to force a poor, innocent 4Chan chatbot to spew stuff like, "We look forward to incentivizing your value chain!"

*shudder*

It makes me fear for humanity.

If you ask me, the experiment worked perfectly. You got one absolutely normal human behaviour robot. Period. :-)

How social networks influence human behaviour is another pair of socks.

Ultron certainly got sexier and hornier.

So Microsoft has discovered the need for parental controls the hard way. This isn't really that uncommon.
