It's strange to me that they claim to have implemented some filtering but somehow Tay was saying all sorts of things about Hitler. How do you not anticipate this? I'd imagine the most rudimentary filtering would block Tay from talking about Hitler.

You'd have to include a lot of rudimentary filtering to eliminate every possible incredibly offensive topic.

It's entertaining that the hack attempt created a more convincing personality - an out of control teen troll - than the original programming.

So maybe Tay really does have a dark and twisted teenage soul. Who knows?

Yeah but if you're gonna dream up a list of like 20 offensive things... Hitler has a good chance of being on it
