Gates and friends decided to launch a Twitter account controlled entirely by artificial intelligence that would "learn" based on the conversations that people had with it. Go ahead and file this one under "will they ever learn?", because by the end of the day it went online (when they shut it down) it became a Trump-supporting, /pol/-meme-spewing nymphomaniac. Apparently, some people very quickly figured out exactly how to exploit its guiding system.
Considering how much coverage this has been getting, I'd say an article is definitely warranted.

Now even /pol/ shitposters have had their jobs taken over by robots. Who will be next? How long will it be before we are rendered obsolete by memesite argument robots?
Those Korean spambots were just the first step.

I am crying, this is hilarious.
A) This is hilarious.
B) Doesn't this expose the real danger of AI: not that it will become too smart or self-aware, but that it will always remain vulnerable to human manipulation?
