Who could have seen this coming?

Microsoft introduced a chat robot designed to interact in the style of a “teen girl” on Twitter, and it went rogue almost immediately, spouting racist opinions, conspiracy theories and a fondness for genocide.

The artificial intelligence (AI) named “Tay” -
@Tayandyou on Twitter - was intended chat to with 18-24 year olds with the idea being that she would learn from each tweet and get progressively smarter.

Clearly Microsoft had forgotten that Twitter is home to a huge amount of trolls, racists and general troublemakers who jumped at the chance to ‘teach’ the teenaged AI about life.

In one widely circulated tweet, Tay said: “Bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have got now. donald trump is the only hope we’ve got”.

Wait till Microsoft claims that Tay was hacked

That solves the nature vs. nurture question.

I think the rest of the world will take a big gulp if Trump moves into the White House.

Technically, he may be correct. There likely was a 7-11 on the corner near the towers.

/too ever?

To be fair, it was Rex Ryan who introduced Trump at the rally and he probably left an empty Big Gulp cup and a hot dog wrapper at the podium.

So Trump just secured the 7-11 customer vote - this man is a genius!

Maybe comeds, but if Sandy Hook wasn't enough to sway public/political opinion, I don't think it's ever going to change.
Oh I know. I started with a 'lol' after my post then removed it because I really wasn't.

Cool! I got a bullshit on my post. At least it was the appropriate thread to get one.
