Hey Microsoft, the Internet Made My Bot Racist, Too

It all happened so quickly! First, Microsoft reveals an amazing new bot that learns from you, the public! Then, in less than 48 hours, the bot turns incredibly racist. What does this say about Microsoft, and about AI? Well, I have some insight into that, because in May of 2014, the exact same thing happened to me with a bot I made. My bot wasn't a tweeter, instead it was a Turing test like game called Bot Or Not? where players were either paired with one another, or both paired with a bot, and players had to guess if they were talking with a their live partner or the bot.
