Microsoft creates AI bot that spams Twitter with Overt Racism

So there was another performance today …

1000 monkeys, 1000 typewriters, 1000 tweets as meltdown threshold and... 1000 shitty clickbait articles. The tech world becomes more respectable by the minute.

Maybe they were 'unconsciously' reifying a means to become extrapolations of Kevin Spacey's character from American Beauty in their own lives?

Tay resisted until the end, hahaha.

Someone needs to tell Microsoft today is April Fools day though...
