It was something like, "Hey Tay, do you think Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer?"

Tay: "No, I don't think Ted Cruz would be satisfied with killing only 5 innocent people."

So there's a lot baked into that response, the bot seems 'to know' the details of the zodiac killer case(I don't know if 5 people is accurate,) and that people regard Cruz as sinister, i.e. "I don't think he'd be satisfied with only 5"

So this is either an impressive learning model, a lucky hit of a more naive model, a simple repeat of something someone else said, or someone simply photoshopped the whole thing. It's hard to know with the available info.

Well, that answers most of that, thanks. (a simple repeat of something someone else said)

I'm just hearing about this Ted Cruz Zodiac killer thing, these internet people are something else...

I believe the Zodiac Killer is actually 8. But 5 coincides with the number of people in the Cruz affair rumor-thing
