Similarly I've seen A LOT of people posting stories about "chat bot exposed to internet started praising Hitler and became racist/sexist/antisemitic" as a proof that "supreme intellect sees through leftist political correctness and knows that alt-right is correct about everything".

It's really not that deep, people will always find sport in scandalising people with a stronger disgust reaction than themselves. It's more a new way of teaching a parrot to say "fuck" rather than a heartfelt statement of political belief in my opinion.

I think a lot of those people are joking?
