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.

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.
