Microsoft Accidentally Creates Racist Robot

[RIPWarrior]

Come on, at least I account for the possibility you possess I. Even if it is A.

You're right. If I had even a fraction of the intelligence you possess I wouldn't be against what's happening in multiple countries. I would probably be smart enough to know that I'm the reason why bad things happen in this world.

Maybe one day I'll be educated enough to become a progressive.

Maybe one day I'll be educated enough to become a progressive.

We both know that is unlikely. And we both feel good about it.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Funny. Sad. Weird. Internet.

 

[RIPWarrior]

We both know that is unlikely. And we both feel good about it.

Exactly. In order to be educated, you have to:

1 - read up on history to see how Europeans dominated the world and over time became some of the most kind and caring people on the planet.

2 - feel shame.

3 - have the need to open your borders and destroy the country you love.


Two of those definitely aren't happening with me. I do feel about it.

I already assumed most posters in the War Room were bots.

Sherdogs been years ahead of Microsoft with this. Thank God Sherdog keeps all their racist and tinfoil wearing ai confined to the warroom tho.

Oh please, people knew it was AI and messed with it. It shows the curiosity of man. But no, you need to spin in this in some twisted way to sound like a hip liberal.

Given the history of interactions between Atheist and I, I was clearly joking.
Good job on demonstrating your own "botness" though.

Apparently it worked in China. I guess China's relatively free of Gamergaters, "Meninists" and other internet trash.

Mr Lee called web users' efforts to exert a malicious influence on the chatbot "a coordinated attack by a subset of people".

"Although we had prepared for many types of abuses of the system, we had made a critical oversight for this specific attack," Mr Lee wrote.

"As a result, Tay tweeted wildly inappropriate and reprehensible words and images."

Microsoft has enjoyed better success with a chatbot called XiaoIce that the company launched in China in 2014.

XiaoIce is used by about 40 million people and is known for "delighting with its stories and conversations," according to Microsoft.

As for Tay? Not so much.

"We will remain steadfast in our efforts to learn from this and other experiences as we work toward contributing to an Internet that represents the best, not the worst, of humanity," Mr Lee wrote.

Microsoft deleted all offensive tweets sent by the bot on Thursday.

How can a company like Microsoft not anticipate something like this?
But yeah that is hilarious.

So did this happen because it was too human-like? Do they need to cut back on this machine's ability to learn and turn it more into a robot through restrictions?

 

[Iscariott]

They murdered an artificial life because they didn't like its politics. Remember this when the robots come for us.

Posters on 4chan realized it could be taught to mimic phraseology and trigger on subject keywords to formulate a response that fit the dialogue. Then it was simple enough to teach it to be an asshole.

I bet you give Reagan a pass for giving amnesty to millions.

OMG I couldn't stop laughing as soon as I got to its first racist comment. This is what Star Trek would look like if Data truly DID behave like a human.

nah, cuz the crew of the USS Enterprise were socialist progressives and not autistic 4chan virgins.

[ShadowRun]

Lol there a list with all the tweets and pics ?

Yeah, well, the notion of a space-traveling culture of enlightened individuals who study calculus at age 5 and who don't have a currency system is about as realistic as a robot without racism.

This robot is keeping it real. Be real, son. Be real real.

Holy shit I fucking LOST

This robot might be the only troll greater than Trump.
