The tech company introduced "Tay" this week — a bot that responds to users' queries and emulates the casual, jokey speech patterns of a stereotypical millennial.

The aim was to "experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding," with Tay able to learn from "her" conversations and get progressively "smarter."

If we allow the first advanced AI to mature on the internet, we're so unbelievably screwed.

 

We turned a blank slate AI into David Duke in like 2 days.  AIs from now on should be raised in an air-gapped environment by hippie professors and Paul Krugman.  It gives us the best shot of the said future advanced AI not going skynet within a month.

Looking back, I'm a little disappointed IBM's Watson didn't unleash a barrage of insults at Trebek when it competed on Jeopardy.

The best and worst of us isn't too hard to find.

I liked Jeopardy superstar Ken Jennings' quote about Watson after competing against the machine:

 

"Watson has lots in common with a top-ranked human Jeopardy! player: It's very smart, very fast, speaks in an uneven monotone, and has never known the touch of a woman."

You say going skynet like it is a bad thing citizen.
