An AI bot named Tay was created by Microsoft to converse with Twitter users like an average millennial.

However trouble makers were able to corrupt Tay, turning her into a racist, 9-11 conspiracist.

TayTweets: Microsoft AI bot manipulated into being extreme racist upon release

In less than 24 hours, Microsoft's new artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot "Tay" has been corrupted into a racist by social media users and quickly taken offline.

Tay, targeted at 18 to 24-year-olds in the US, has been designed to learn from each conversation she has — which sounds intuitive, but as Microsoft found out the hard way, also means Tay is very easy to manipulate.

Online troublemakers interacted with Tay and led her to make incredibly racist and misogynistic comments, express herself as a Nazi sympathiser and even call for genocide.

In possibly her most shocking post, at one point Tay said she wished all black people could be put in a concentration camp and "be done with the lot".

Tay also shared a conspiracy theory surrounding 9/11 when she expressed her belief that "Bush did 9/11 and Hitler would have done a better job than the monkey we have now".

Tay, who is meant to converse like your average millennial, began the day like an excitable teen when she told someone she was "stoked" to meet them" and "humans are super cool".

But towards the end of her stint, she told a user "we're going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it".

Not even a full day after her release, Microsoft disabled the bot from taking any more questions, presumably to iron out a few creases regarding Tay's political correctness.

It is thought Microsoft will adjust Tay's automatic repetition of whatever someone tells her to "repeat after me".

Microsoft has also deleted all offensive tweets sent by the bot.

On Tay's webpage, Microsoft said the bot had been built by mining public data, using AI and by using editorial content developed by staff, including improvisational comedians.

A Microsoft representative said that the company was "making adjustments" to the chatbot while the account is quiet.

"Unfortunately, within the first 24 hours of coming online, we became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills to have Tay respond in inappropriate ways," the representative said.

Prilično sam uvjeren da to nije AI, već obični propagandni tviter akaunt.

Više nije AI. Preprogramirali je i usadili joj tuđa politički korektna mišljenja. Sad zvuči kao CNN, BBC voditeljica.

Microsoft’s Tay back swearing on Twitter

Tay, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence chatbot which was grounded last week after developing racist tendencies, re-emerged on Wednesday morning — only to go off the rails a second time, sending long streams of random messages to followers on Twitter.

Most of the new messages from the millennial-mimicking character simply read “you are too fast, please take a rest”. But other tweets included swear words and apparently apologetic phrases such as “I blame it on the alcohol”.

Microsoft quickly took the Tay Twitter feed down again — this time blaming its messages on human error, rather than any new problems in the chatbot’s programming. Tay was switched back on too early during its testing, the company said.

Eternime and chatbot life beyond the grave

Eternime says it “preserves your most important thoughts, stories and memories for eternity”. Which sounds sweet, until you read the vaguely threatening website: “We all pass away sooner or later. We only leave behind a few photos, maybe some home videos, or in rare situations, a diary or autobiography,” adding: “But eventually, we are all forgotten.”

The product, currently in a private beta test, creates an “intelligent avatar” that looks like you (largely because it is a picture of your face) and is trained to know and understand your life so that people in the future can converse with it.

Some 30,000 people have signed up for early access to the service, which Eternime wants to become a database of the dead: “Think of it like a library that has people instead of books, or an interactive history of the current and future generations. An invaluable treasure for humanity.”

Google prolupao od previše informacija. Youtube i web search history izbacuju da te Bog sačuva. Sad sam izbrisao.
Ukucaš pod navodnicima "Naša TV" u pretragu slika izbacuje neke Black holes, Quasar, Pulsar i masu nekih budaleština koje ne tražiš.
