The 'vulnerability' of the program to respond to commands of the sort, hey tay, repeat this [inflammatory comment]
2 comments

Yup and people would then take a screenshot of what Tay repeated and posted it everywhere saying "haha Tay loves hitler!". If you discount the repeat feature then Tay didn't actually say much that was horrible. Yeah there were a few things but not nearly as much as it was made out to be.
The vast majority of the responses weren't due to this which what makes Tay's responses actually quite amazing.

MSFT wanted to make a teenager AI and 4chan delivered.
