Microsoft : snarky chat bot is fluent in teenage Web speak (BRIEF) 4-Traders

March 24--Hey, millennials: Microsoft wants to chat with you. The Redmond company introduced tay.ai Wednesday, an emoji-fluent, snarky chat bot aimed at 18- to 24-year-olds in the United States. The bot will reply to messages sent to it on any of those platforms in a style mimicking teenage Web speak. Tay, Microsoft says, was built by mining public data and using machine-learning technology and input from a staff that includes improvisational comedians.
