Microsoft 'deeply sorry' for chat bot's racist tweets

The company launched the bot as an experiment in AI on Wednesday, and in less than a day, it began to tweet things like "Hitler was right I hate the jews" and "I f------ hate feminists and they should all die and burn in hell." Tay is essentially one central program that anyone can chat with using Twitter, Kik or Groupme. As people talk to it, the bot picks up new language and learns to respond in new ways. But Tay also had a "vulnerability" that online trolls picked up on pretty quickly. By telling the bot to "repeat after me," Tay would retweet anything that someone said.
