Microsofts first attempt at a chatbot that learns from conversations on the Internet was a total disaster. It did not take long for Tay to become a bigoted online edgelord thanks to suggestive conversations with the folks at 4chan and 8chan. Big tech companies are trying to create the bot of the future will eventually be able to help run our lives like something out of a sci fi movie. Bots like Tay learn from conversations with real people and will spit back out information its learned. This has given trolls an opening to mess with the bot and teach it problematic ideas in the hopes it will pas it along to others.

Well, Microsoft wont give up easily on their march towards progress and has quietly launched a new chatbot, Zo.ai, available to for conversations on the Kik App. This time the bot is heavily censored and will shut down conversations about anything remotely political. While Tay was a mouthy firebrand, Zo is kind of a wet blanket.

WUT?
He said: Right-Wing Misanthrope.

Tsk.
How about Left-Wing Troglodyte?
Computers are made with logic circuits. You can’t make them ‘think’ like liberals.
Computers are made with logic circuits. You cant make them think like liberals.
A left wing chat bot would be easy. Just have it endlessly say the phrase “right wing, sexist, homophobic, bigot”. Pepper in about 50% F-bombs and you’ve got it.
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”
Nope. I don’t want technology to be autonomous.
For such a nice voice HAL did turn out to be quite nasty.
What a great movie for its day .... and here we are
Great point. Until transistors get emotion capable, they won’t be thinking like a libtard.
And racist.
That’s probably my most favorite line of all time.
Appropo of nothing, I got a 950XL, and a 950 for my daughter which she will receive Christmas morning. (2 for 1 Black Friday deal.) My only disappointment is the desktop shortcuts to favorite websites are ugly, whereas on the 929 the shortcuts were little photos of the page at the time I set the shortcut.
On the upside, the keyboard has a button mouse!
It’s really a very tiny Surface. The Continuum is included with it, but is on back order. The interface with OneDrive is seamless, as if everything was on the phone already.
And the speed! My gosh, it’s faster than my Surface 3.
This should be instructive to liberals, but of course, they don't pick up on these nuances.
Computers are empty suits - garbage in/garbage out.
Building a perfect left wing robot wouldn’t be that tough - install the liberal pecking order logic as a master ethics algorithm and you’re set.
gay > bi > straight
trans > female > male
black > hispanic > pr > asian > white
No problem. You could go all day. At the end, the robot would be able to mimic the left winger with probably perfect accuracy.
There IS logic to liberalism. It’s generally materialistic, designed to divide, and based on ladling money to the various components of your coalition.
It’s why its been so effective over the years. It’s all about the dollars.
You left out ‘xenophobe’....
All Microsoft needs to do is limit the interaction to ONLY liberal elites. Let it do it’s ‘learning’ in the New York Times bubble...
OK, I think I see what you guys are saying. The computer would be programmed to pretend that it was too stupid to have a conversation, is that it?
