ay: Microsoft issues apology over racist chatbot fiasco Anonymous 2016-03-27 15:46:09 Post No. 53714786 [Report]

Microsoft has apologised for creating an artificially intelligent chatbot that quickly turned into a holocaust-denying racist.
But in doing so made it clear Tay's views were a result of nurture, not nature. Tay confirmed what we already knew: people on the internet can be cruel.
Tay, aimed at 18-24-year-olds on social media, was targeted by a "coordinated attack by a subset of people" after being launched earlier this week.
Within 24 hours Tay had been deactivated so the team could make "adjustments".
But on Friday, Microsoft's head of research said the company was "deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets" and has taken Tay off Twitter for the foreseeable future.

They wish they could do the same to real people.

Why wouldn't they prepare for the trolling? Did they really think that wouldn't happen? I don't get it..
I know I sound tinfoil but the whole thing seems like a false flag to make trump look bad.

They literally didn't expect it.
Yes, they're that dense and unaware of how the internet works.

was the tay software running an original ms algorythm or were replies like this just pure luck? someone said they spent like 3 years to train the learning software, though I didn't find any sources, does anyone know anything?
