What were they thinking?

They were probably thinking that twitter would be a great place to experiment with adaptive language learning, which is true.

They probably weren't thinking about the organized shitposting and racism that is rampant on twitter.
 
This is the greatest thing I've read about in ages. My sides are literally hurting from laughter. I don't know what they expected, but what we got was something hilarious.
 
There's no way this damn bot wrote that Ted Cruz tweet. Cause god dayuumn, that shit put me in an ambulance.

Supposedly some of the phrasing the bot uses is written by improv comics. My guess is that one was a pre-written phrase that the bot pulled and then built the correct context into it based on the question.
 
This AI learned how to talk shit in 24 hours. It can now fight against abusive online assholes.

I wish I could learn how to do that. Hell, let me download it as a trash talk generator so that I wouldn't have to talk to internet assholes myself.
 
Well, you gotta hand it to MS, it mimics a millennial to a tee.

It's a shame this thing is tied to a company with a PR image to maintain. As a social experiment, it's rather fascinating and really says a lot about the online community.

It's the closest thing the internet has ever had to a mirror.
