Microsoft's new AI Twitter bot @tayandyou was shut down after only 24 hours after it began making "offensive" tweets.

The bot was built "by mining relevant public data and by using AI and editorial developed by a staff including improvisational comedians," and designed to target 18-24 year olds.

Shortly after the bot went live, it began making offensive tweets endorsing Nazism and genocide, among other things.

As of this submission, the bot has been shut down, and all but 3 tweets deleted.

The important question is whether or not it succeeded in passing the Turing test.

takyon: This bot sure woke fast, and produced much more logical sentence structures than @DeepDrumpf.

    I guess they're snappy dressers, and they were pretty good at making guns

    National Socialism is not particular to any one country, race or culture. You can be a black in Africa and also a National Socialist. You can pray to any God and be a National Socialist.

    The German National Socialists (Hitler's party) dressed well (and everyone should!) because being clean and wearing clean clothes is a healthy practice. Clean, pressed clothes impresses the onlookers and they get interested in finding out more about these people who dress up well, are clean, engage in healthy activities and are not usurers (among many other positive qualities). Dressing like a thug (today's marketing) shows one is not cultured and this practice is promoted because they (your enemies) want to destroy whatever culture you have left.

    One could also easily dispute the societal merits of being good at making guns, tanks and massive flags

    The Germans under National Socialism (Hitler's party) did not start rearmament until 16 March, 1936. Then years later, when the threat from Communism could no longer be ignored and action had to be taken immediately, military spending was increased. It was Now or Never.

    National Socialism is a wonderful system. Those who live under it become converts.
    Did you know that many Germans committed suicides at the end of WW II because they did not want to live in a world without National Socialism?

    The enemies of National Socialism control your media, banks and life. You cannot ignore what is being done to you, but they program you so you get conditioned and accept what is being done to you. Look outside to see the your country swimming in outsiders, who are there only for the easy money.

    The Jews indeed cannot allow such a healthy system free of parasites, which does not help them get richer.

    I'd hate to think I've had the wool pulled over my eyes all these years.

    Yes, indeed you've been duped. When you wake up, people will call you a 'Nazi', thinking its something bad.

    Including those put in concentration camps?

      Many concentration camp workers used to sneak out at night and come back before morning to enjoy the pleasures of outside. It was tolerated. Concentration camps were not prisons or death camps as Jewish media would have you believe. When the Russians were about to overrun a camp, those being treated in the Concentration Camp hospital were asked if they wanted to leave with the Germans or wait for the Russians. They would chose to go with the 'evil nazis' instead of waiting for the Russians to liberate them.

      I guess they did not want to be liberated from National Socialism. Many Concentration Camp workers (not all) later made up stories in order to play the victim and collect checks for life. Those who deny anything bad or inhumane happened at the camps were silenced.

        Those are some impressive claims, do you have references for them that I can check?

        Err … are you speaking about the people imprisoned at the camps, or about the people working there (guards etc.)? The latter certainly were allowed to go outside, and I'm pretty sure those indeed would have preferred that National Socialism would have prevailed. The former, not so much.
