Reddit, apparently. That doesn't seem like it was the best idea...

  They really, really should have seen that coming.

  Even Wikipedia is a minefield apparently (from TFA: "But that did not stop Alexa from reciting the Wikipedia entry for masturbation to a customer"). It seems like every chatbot let out in the open will turn into an asshole. Microsoft's Tay failed spectacularly, twice. They also trained IBM's Watson on Urban Dictionary in order to better understand informal language, it didn't end well and they quickly rolled back their changes. It seems that AIs have a hard time recognizing and avoiding offensive language. That's not surprising considering that it is a hard to master social skill for humans also. Did you notice how brutal kid speech can be? Human kids are still way more socially skilled than even the most advanced AIs, and we expect AIs to behave like adults...
