Machine learning robot gets introduced to the internet, internet catches wind there is a new machine learning robot on the internet. Proceed to teach it as many offensive phrases as possible has been pretty much internet canon for the last two decades.
I'm very disappointed to see it happen again. The biggest disappointment is that I'm sure Microsoft has added some pretty neat stuff in there. But we're never going to be able to see it if they keep making the same mistakes.
This is how far machine learning computers were able to get 10 years ago.
- fapjacks 11y agoSo... This is just a human thing, I think. I was raised in a university town, in a neighborhood which had a lot of (poor) students with children. Lots of immigrant students, too. Anyways, nearly all of my friends were Chinese nationals whose parents were involved with the university. When they first arrived they spoke zero English. It was just the thing to do to teach them first and foremost the nastiest curse words in the English language. When I went to live in Germany, it was the first thing I learned from my new German friends. This is just some sort of reflexive human behavior. We shouldn't expect people to treat robots any differently. And thinking about it, there might actually be some kind of indicator buried in here, of how human beings psychologically react to robots.
