How long until this bot becomes corrupt and evil like the one Microsoft tried?
Hopefully this won’t happen! I’ve been trying to avoid memes that are problematic or marginalizing. Since I curate what goes into it, I can kind of avoid having it turn into a straight-up nazi like theirs did.
There are still possibilities for me to miss stuff, or for things to be combined in a way that I didn’t anticipate that is horrible, but no where near the scale that Microsoft went wrong with Tay. They didn’t even implement the most basic functionality to keep it from posting slurs, they didn’t think to maybe make it not learn the names of extremely high-profile harassment victims, etc.
The whole thing was a clusterfuck, and honestly, it was one because Microsoft is staffed by privileged jackasses who don’t know how the internet works but insist on building stuff for it anyway; pretty much anyone who was even remotely familiar with Twitter, bots that “learn” from talking to people, or bigotry in web culture in general would have been able to predict that it would’ve gone wrong.
Sorry for the overseriousness of this– I live at a weird intersection, metaphorically; I do bot-work and am a harassment target and sometimes I do activism with that, and so to see Microsoft fuck up this badly when all they would’ve had to do was ask any of the MULTITUDE of people who know what they’re doing just pisses me off. I get people contacting me with bot ideas on a regular basis where my answer is “I don’t know how to do that, but if I did, and I made it, it would immediately get used for harassment,” and I don’t even make that kind of bot. Like, how bad is everyone who approved this at doing their job? How have they not been fired and replaced with someone who isn’t so privilege-blinded that they make EXTREMELY BAD choices that generate TERRIBLE PR?

Artificial intelligence test on Twitter creates a racist, hate-filled bot

Artificial intelligence test on Twitter creates a racist, hate-filled bot
Microsoft has switched off an artificial intelligence after Twitter users taught it to say offensive things. The verified Twitter account, named Tay, was intended to catch the imagination of 18- to 24-year-olds but proved the plaything of pranksters who made it come out with racist and homophobic messages. One encouraged the bot to say that "Bush did 9/11" and "Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have now". Microsoft switched off bot after a few hours, signing off with the message: "c u soon humans need sleep now so many conversations today thx".
As it learns, some of its responses are inappropriate and indicative of the types of interactions some people are having with it. We're making some adjustments to Tay
Microsoft spokesman
Microsoft says the bot is intended to "experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding". But many users realised it was possible to make the bot repeat outrageous statements. One attempted to teach it some of Donald Trump's proposed policies that he would introduce as president. It also answered the fairly innocent question "is Ricky Gervais an atheist?" with the bizarre response: "Ricky Gervais learned totalitarianism from Adolf Hitler, the inventor of atheism." However, Tay did eventually appear to back away and one of its tweets read: "You know I'm a lot more than just this."
Okay. I'm done. I feel used.
