I think you're referring to Tay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(bot)) here right? The context is slightly different, as Tay "learned" from what random people on the internet told it, so unsurprisingly, a bunch of internet randoms got together to make the bot racist and a holocaust denier.
- Waterluvian 4y agoYeah that's the one. Yes, it was 4chan et al. that "taught" the bot those things. But if I recall correctly, the bot then volunteered that kind of stuff to others, unprompted for it.
