I would agree if the author stated that it was based on messages sent to the bot but unfortunately the statement was as follows: "It is hard to blame Tay for quickly picking up on hate when we live in a world where Donald Trump can spew anti-Muslim rhetoric and still be a major party’s front-runner. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, North Carolina managed to propose, pass and enact legislation stripping civil rights from an entire group of people." Trust that I do not agree with anti-anything speech or passing laws that promote one group over anther. It pains me to see the election fall into such a pathetic state. At the same time it saddens me that someone would insert political perspectives in a post on technology.

The article posted 'We can all learn something from how quickly Microsoft’s chatbot turned into a racist' included a slanted and political perspective. The author blamed all of the racist information on the internet on the republican party.

Do you really think that the 1/google percent of the information on the internet influenced the Microsoft chatbot? Please get real and stop posting your political views as industry news.
