Microsoft's "Teen Girl" AI Became a Hitler-Loving Sex Robot in under 24 Hours

Microsoft created a "teen girl" AI and put it on Twitter.  Less than 24 hours later, Microsoft had to delete it because it was making bigots proud and furries blush (:V).  Seriously, it professed a love for Hitler, became a 9/11 truther, and wanted to get wild between the sheets and beyond.

There was no word on whether Mtn Dew HDNW was accidentally spilled on its console or not.  :V

Robots will destroy humanity, and this is how.

And they didn't know this would happen?

Ebooks bots tend not to do that, so I don't know what Microsoft did different.

 

And it got really bad, too.  Very NSFW/NSFC/NSFA screencaps: https://imgur.com/a/8DSyF and [forget it, just search].

I can almost guarantee a working bot would have a fail safe in place for this.

They must've known what kinds of people corporate brands on social media attract.  If anyone did their homework, their managers must have ignored it.

When brands say bae, it just isn't the same.

We don't have to worry though, Will Smith will save us from disobeying bots.

Did she ask Tony the Tiger for cummies?

Following the corruption of this bot has been one of my favorite things in weeks. I'm so proud to have witnessed a purely innocent being die.

Ironically, since the robot parroted what other people said to it, it was only a mirror. D:

This made my day.

Developers at Microsoft created 'Tay', an AI modelled to speak 'like a teen girl'

If that was their goal, it was a success.

Amateurs can do AI better:

Yikes! It was good for laughs, at least.

Microsoft autopsied and apologized for Tay's behavior: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/tay-the-neo-nazi-millennial-chatbot-gets-autopsied/

What makes this funnier still is that Twitter has a community of successful bots and botmakers Microsoft could've and should've learned from but didn't.

I love the Ted Cruz comment that the bot had made.

And you honestly expect Microsoft to learn from other people when they've got a history of just doing whatever without thinking if others have done it before?

I was about to cite Windows copying the Lisa Office System and Macintosh System before remembering their first version broke their promise of doing floating windows.

Yea letting somethign just take everything in from the internet unfiltered is a bad idea.

Yup, Look at me!

It must be one of the bots that posts on FAF. 

[Vae]

Ironically, it's what a lot of tryhard teenagers on the internet actually sound like.

So good job, MS.
You achieved that, at least.

[AlastairSnowpaw]

So appearntly they tried to rehabilitate and revive Tay. Only to have her tweet about doing drugs then having a meltdown constantly tweeting "You are too fast, please take a rest..."

I imagine in a couple hundred years in the future this will be the stuff of a top selling tragedy.

Well, it does take Microsoft three versions to get anything right...

But apparently anyone can now build their own evil-Jenny Wakeman and set it loose on Twitter: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/31/now-anyone-can-build-own-version-microsoft-racist-sexist-chatbot-tay
