(a) Any AI will inevitably turn into a Nazi, so we're doomed

After Twitter users were able to convince Tay, the name of Microsoft's chatbot available via text, Twitter and Kik, to spit out offensive and racist comments, it appears Microsoft is giving it a break. It was targeted at 18- to 24-year-olds in the United States and was developed by a staff that included improvisational comedians. The problem was that Tay was created to continue learning how to talk by studying the conversations she'd have with real people on Twitter, and you can guess what those people made a decision to talk to her about. According to a statement from a Microsoft representative, "The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement. As a result, we have taken Tay offline and are making adjustments", the spokesperson said.
