Microsoft is trying to avoid another PR disaster with its new AI bot.
The company's latest program can describe what it "sees" in photos.
"CaptionBot," as it's called, does a pretty decent job at describing simple everyday scenes, such as a person sitting on a couch, a cat lounging around, or a busy restaurant. But it seems to be programmed to ignore pictures of Nazi symbolism or its leader.
CNNMoney gave CaptionBot several photos of Adolf Hitler and variations of the swastika to analyze, and it often came back with "I really can't describe the picture" and a confused emoji. It did, however, identify other Nazi leaders like Joseph Mengele and Joseph Goebbels.

Sounds like Al Gore vs Ted Kaczynski...
What MS has done is impressive.
The machine has to recognize and purposely ignore certain subjects.
Apes, Hilter, maybe Muslimism, what else?
This is not dumb AI, it is “sensitive” AI, enhanced to accommodate progressive censorship (”political correctness”).
Good stuff.
(Yeah, it’s a shame we can’t see the real stuff any more. It is inherently honest & innocent).
The problem was obviously in the name. Tay had it thinking it was Don-tay or Quon-tay or Shon-tay and it’s homies were in Baltimore. If they’d have named it Charlie or Joe, this would have never happened.
The internet will come up with ways to corrupt the bot faster than MS can program ways to stop it.
I will be of you put a picture of Trump it will say, “that’s Adolph Hitler.”
