News today about Microsoft's chatbot experiment. Tay AI was designed to mimic a young girl.
Hmm. "Tay AI"... isn't that an anagram of "Taiya?" A chatbot designed to lightly simulate a young girl?
Talvieno -- is there anything you'd like to tell us?
WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
Unfortunately, trolls quickly started abusing Microsoft's Tay, causing her to start spewing
some fairly horrific crap. Microsoft took her offline shortly thereafter.
I don't like the thought police-style demands that content-neutral algorithms are a threat to people's feelings and must be banned from the Internet. But I think Microsoft was right to take Tay offline for adjustments. She'll be more interesting when she's less susceptible to regurgitating anything trolls feed her.
I just hope MS don't take that too far, declaring that any ideas (political, economic, etc.) they don't like are evil and must be censored, but I guess that's the age we live in now.
At any rate, fascinating news.
