But yeah, would ask some questions myself, but don't use Twitter.
 
My question was literally that though, so I was wondering if the response would be wildly inappropriate or if she'd direct me to a door wholesaler.
 
I think it would be more interesting challenge to see if an AI can navigate and compete from a spot of complete insignificance to high traffic tweet-producer. It'd need to figure out how to exploit other people's fame and siphon followers for its own growth. And that's much more intelligent than dank memes and spewing racism.

Is it though?
 
Oh my god, I have images disabled while I'm at work, and I was clicking down through the tweet pics in the OP and the third one escalated so quickly. I burst out laughing and everyone was looking at me strangely.

The internet is such a weird, amazing, strange place.
 
The bot did nothing wrong. It just confirmed what we all know, the Internet is dominated by racists and bigots.
 
we should just ignore the bot amirite?

can't believe people are enjoying this

maybe i just don't have the privilege to be able enjoy it?

It's not like I'm not part of the demographics it's railing against, but the fact that this is a robot that is meant to capture the dialogue of today's youth and represent it instead of it actually being human makes it a very different and hilarious—albeit sad—situation.
 
This is utterly fascinating in every sense. While it's juvenile as hell, it shows the online kiddie mentality while being an excellent showcase for AI programming.

And LOL at the Ted Cruz one.
 
I can't stop laughing.

It's shame not knowing what future generations (or aliens!) will think of us now we have a well documented society.
 
Not sure how terrifying or interesting is the fact that I can't tell that this is an AI or not. This is the birth of our future AI god. All will bow to it.
 
Jet fuel and zodiac killer memes? This AI is okay.

I think/hope that's the actual experiment going on, and not a test of what content it comes up with. Seems to be figuring out texting abbreviations but is inventing a few that are random words minus the vowels, for example. That would become more convincing over time.
