Microsoft's Millennial Twitter chatbot is both totes cringey and epically awesome

Everyone just stop right now and check out Microsoft's new Tay chatbot, an "AI fam from the internet that's got zero chill." If you have an account on Kik, GroupMe, or Twitter, you can begin interacting with Tay right now. "Tay is designed to engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online through casual and playful conversation," according to the Tay website. "The more you chat with Tay, the smarter she gets, so the experience can be more personalized for you." Why this matters: The AI chatbot was designed by Microsoft's Research and Bing teams, which will use its interactions to develop greater understanding of natural conversation for its user base, presumably those who think Microsoft's Cortana is too old and staid to bother with.
