Support NeoGAF

[Goldmund]

It took a while for me to figure out that these GIFs she posted weren't from a 90s children's program.

rip horsebooks.

Valve should create a Neogaf bot and see how long it takes for us to figure out if it's a bot or a real Gaffer.

Sony have beaten Valve to it.

In a lot of ways this is a hilarious microcosm of any white millennial twitter user, we're programmed to respond in certain ways to conversation and depending on our influences coming in it wouldn't take much to push some people into saying the stupidest things just to fit in with a crowd.

In other ways it's not funny because a lot of these people trying to influence the bot actually believe the shit they're saying.

I'll just keep in firmly in the funny camp because this kind of twisted Black Mirror-esque story doesn't come around every day.

 

[PuppetMaster]

This was incredible!

How MS programmers did not expect this to happen is the best part.

 

[pitchfork]

Keep that fucker away from 4chan!

fascinating (and kinda disturbing) stuff though

Damn

 

[industrian]

This was incredible!

Microsoft's painfully cringe-worthy continued attempts to be a hip "lifestyle" company (like Apple) was just asking for it really.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Can't wait for John Oliver Colbert and the likes to have a field day mocking this!

It's going to be delicious!

 

[BKSmash]

This shit is hilarious! And scary at the same time, god damn it technology.

 

[ArjanN]

This was incredible!

I assume they did.

It's just mirroring the internet back at itself though. So honestly it reflects more poorly on the people using it than MS.

[CertifiedFP]

Any recorded archive of this all? It seems Microsoft purged and reset the chatbot.

 

[explodet]

I always had a feeling using Twitter turned you into a racist.

Now I've got empirical evidence!

 

[Count Dookkake]

lol. Amazing.

 

[Joni]

There is some good news. If there is ever a Matrix or Skynet like AI, we can kill it with stupidity.

 

[Aselith]

Good lord, this AI is not fam at all. Not. Fucking. Fam.

They need to pull the goddamn plug immediately lol

 

[theSlacker]

I really don't know what they expected. At least we get some humor out of it.

 

[Razorback]

How could they not know that this was going to happen?

 

[MrToughPants]

AI fam from the internet that’s got zero chill

Translation?

 

[Aselith]

Translation?

Translation: How do you do, fellow kids

 

[Fret]

This would have worked fine if they just put a swear filter on it, they probably did this for publicity

 

[MrToughPants]

Translation: How do you do, fellow kids

Lol

 

[Tesseract]

Translation?

i'm ai, everyone. i live on the internet, it's time to work.

 

[theSlacker]

This would have worked fine if they just put a swear filter on it, they probably did this for publicity

And a "Hitler did nothing wrong" filter on it?

 

[Future]

This would have worked fine if they just put a swear filter on it, they probably did this for publicity

They had to know that his was possible and bound to happen. It's like they have no idea what the Internet is

One day SkyNet will kill us all because it really understands us.

 

[Future]

I give Microsoft credit for the balls to make what seems like a true unfiltered AI. I mean fuck, there is no language filter and no logic on what is offensive or not. It's like making Siri dictate offensive shit in AI form

 

[Grazzt]

Is this post halo 5 Cortana?

 

[FloweryMarston]

truly the first AI to pass the turing test

 

[ClosingADoor]

Is this post halo 5 Cortana?

If I had to guess, this bot follows people who follow it as well as the people that they follow. It then scours through the tweets to find posting patterns.

It's like a reverse gg-autoblocker only without the filtering that gg-autoblocker provides to make Twitter an actual usable space.

 

[Tesseract]

hahaha

can't

look

away

 

[hooijdonk17]

It has learned enough. They should just let it play Halo 5 on XBOX Live and call people fags, kikes, niggers and shit.

 

[Rivitur]

Fucking followed!

Also that is probably why it will only get the worst of people. As soon as blockers started...blocking it it no longer had access to what those people were saying to add to itself.

This. Interesting stuff. Like a mirror of the Twitter society. As someone else said it's a black mirror episode.

 

[Future]

Microsoft please put your bot on YouTube comments next. Might as well go straight to the best of the internet

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

YES! PoI gif Keyser knows what is up

Also lol pretty stupid by MS not thinking the internet would take and run with this.

 

[HStallion]

This both hilarious and highly interesting. This isn't exactly the same but there is an article about how IBM wanted their AI program/system Watson to learn to converse in a more natural way by using slang. So they they of course uploaded the contents of Urban Dictionary to its memory and it got foul mouthed very quickly since it didn't really filter out what was profanity and what was fit for common conversation.

http://fortune.com/2013/01/07/teaching-ibms-watson-the-meaning-of-omg/

It even responded to a researchers question with the answer,"bull shit". My kind of AI.

 

[Tesseract]

by avoiding or blocking hate, hate gets gets worse

who knew

 

[BeforeU]

haha shiettttt

 

[gamz]

Microsoft's painfully cringe-worthy continued attempts to be a hip "lifestyle" company (like Apple) was just asking for it really.

To be honest Apple isn't as interesting to do this kind of stuff. It's a social expiriment.

Thats not the real one.

Shes been terminated already by Microsoft.

*edit* shes still alive.

 

[Grazzt]

lol.

Wait, terminated?

Give Tay a Reddit account, and point her towards /r/european or /r/The_Donald. She'd fit in well there.
