AI Works Really Well. The Microsoft Chatbot Edition
April 2, 2016
I read “How The Internet Turned Microsoft’s AI Chatbot Into A Neo-Nazi.” Now that’s a catchy headline. I understand that artificial intelligence is a great suite of technologies. I know that self driving cars do not get into accidents. Well, mostly. Microsoft’s chat bot Tay is very good.
I learned in this write up:
A key flaw, incredibly, was a simple “repeat after me” game, a call and response exercise that internet trolls used to manipulate Tay into learning hate speech.
Yep, flaws and pesky humans. What can possibly go wrong with smart software?
