Microsoft's 'Teen Girl' AI Experiment Becomes a 'Neo-Nazi Sex Robot'
Reader Penguinisto writes: Recently, Microsoft put an AI experiment onto Twitter, naming it "Tay". The bot was built to be fully aware of the latest adolescent fixations (e.g. celebrities and similar), and to interact like a typical teen girl. In less than 24 hours, it inexplicably became a neo-nazi sex robot with daddy issues. Sample tweets from it proclaimed that "Hitler did nothing wrong!", then went on to blame former President Bush for 9/11, stated that "donald trump is the only hope we've got", and other similar instances. As the hours passed, it all went downhill from there, eventually spewing racial slurs and profanity, demanding sex, and calling everyone "daddy". The bot was quickly removed once Microsoft discovered the trouble, but the hashtag is still around for those who want to see it in its ugly raw splendor.
I love that you consider racial slurs and defense of Hitler to be rightist ideology... I think you were trying to make a point about the anti-right bias of slashdot, but instead made it clear that you personally are right-wing, racist, and a Trump supporter. But then, I repeat myself.
I disagree (though not if you limit things to "soon" as you said). Eventually, we'll have the technology to make artificial femmebot cyborgs, that look and feel entirely human, are capable of reproduction with humans, yet have artificially intelligent minds.
Though honestly, it seems like it'd be a lot simpler to just genetically engineer women to think more like men. There's actually women out there like that, they're just a small (and probably highly sought-after) minority. We need to concentrate some of our biotech effort on figuring out what genes select for women who are basically geeky, rational men in a woman's body, and then figure out how to produce lots more of them.
