Or, at least that's what she's been trained to have. Today, Microsoft unleashed a new chatbot onto Twitter, Kik, and GroupMe, playfully targeted at 18-24 year olds. Named Tay.ai, the bot is designed to "engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online," according to Tay's totally 100-emoji website. Tay's conversational style is "exactly what your parents think a teen would say"-chic. She LOLs and is low key about things.
