This article should not excoriate Microsoft, it should excoriate this parent. It should be titled, “How a bad parent can monetize his parental mistakes for his “journalist” job”
Yeah. I doubt most people remember TayTweets. I was not following that when it was going on, but was more into the movies that explored the topic of artificial intelligence. It was always a far out story to me and I did not realize that it was going on in real time.
You are right in that the parent prompted the bot to come up with those things. The program was not teaching his kid that type of material on it’s own.
It’s wild times though that entire conversations are going to be had with machines now.
There are two sides to this, if you look on the positive side then yi can help the child to develop and for example prevent various unpleasant things, I want to give one example. I put a spam tool on my child’s mail https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/clean_email_list_bulk_email_verification/53011246076, as it could often receive inappropriate things, and for this I am grateful to the Ii. But of course there are also disadvantages, as mentioned in this article
I kind of hate AI. It makes me glad we’re at peak technology before the collapse. Hopefully we have 1000 years before we’re back here again.
As regards this instance, it looks like the machine performed as instructed. If the dad is surprised by that, he should go to a playground. He’ll hear worse, and without polite context. The computer gave the words he asked for, and they are words people use as slurs. It neither endorsed their use, nor directed them at a target.
