Microsoft's new AI chatbot went off the rails Wednesday, posting a deluge of incredibly racist messages in response to questions. 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."

But Tay proved a smash hit with racists, trolls, and online troublemakers, who persuaded Tay to blithely use racial slurs, defend white-supremacist propaganda, and even outright call for genocide.





















"Tay" is currently down for maintenance...

That is ridiculous.

What millennial would use the word "articulating."
