Tay AI is a twitter bot developed by ‘Microsoft’s Technology and Research’ that, unfortunately, learns all too well from its human interactions. This bot was up for only a day before it generated so much bad press that it was yanked “offline for a while to absorb it all”.
What can we all learn from this other than the obvious folly of having a generalized user taught bot (that is, the learned stuff is used back in responses for ALL users) loose on twitter?
