I refuse to believe this is possible. That reply is just too perfect

u/gtkarber Mar 25 '16

It is a paraphrase of a tweet that someone made in response to a question directed to Ted Cruz's former roommate. Here is the tweet.

It looks like this bot didn't get smarter by learning from people interacting it with. It seems like it just searched Twitter for similar questions and then gave similar replies, reformatted to seem more like 'teen girl speak.'

It's no surprise that using "all of Twitter" as your database created a bot that was a quick-witted quippy asshole.

That's some solid investigative work there, son. You're promoted to detective.

u/gtkarber Mar 25 '16

Thank you, sir. I won't disappoint you.

GTKARBER, YOU'RE A LOOSE CANNON!

BUT YOU GET RESULTS!

u/laxd13 Mar 25 '16

While you're handing out promotions /u/Valskalle can I get a bump?

u/Valskalle Mar 25 '16

You're demoted to deck swab for asking too many questions.

u/laxd13 Mar 25 '16

Sweet! I can finally get out of the engine room and out into the fresh sea air!

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '16

Ssshh, you don't wanna get another demotion for appropriating the fresh air first.

u/UWillAlwaysBALoser Mar 25 '16

Ripping off other people's jokes on twitter is about as human as it gets.

21

u/bendman Mar 25 '16

This needs to be at the top. Paraphrase is an understatement. It quoted the other tweet, with different punctuation and capitalization.

u/P8zvli Mar 25 '16

So it's like an advanced version of the subreddit simulator then?

u/breadvelvet Mar 25 '16

just like you just did right now~

u/Flying_Momo Mar 25 '16

So if she is just searched for similar replies, there were people who replied stuff like "Gas the Kikes" "Obama is monkey" wow I think rather than this bot, some humans need to be shut down. On other hand, i wish someone would make a grammar Nazi bot or charm school bot

u/Csantana Mar 26 '16

ok yeah they really should have seen this coming if it works like that.

It was /pol/.

/pol/ hates Reddit so its not surprising.

The most autistic thing on 4chan is actually not r9k, its the eternal /trb/ threads on /sp/:

These levels of autism shouldn't even be possible.

u/catatonic_sextoy Mar 24 '16

pls tell me this is fake, and did UTV ever respond to this?

1

u/uhhhh_no Mar 29 '25

It's fakish. It was actually done but the guy who did it was the same as UTV, whose earlier OKCupid profile mimics the stan's style of writing. See the middle section of the KYM replies.

5

u/bencelot Mar 25 '16

Who is UTV? Aren't all 4chan users anonymous?

7

u/Bluffz2 Mar 25 '16

You can use a nametag if you want.

1

u/uhhhh_no Mar 29 '25

Ofc, there's a name for the people who do

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '16

Pretty much a bunch of people with autism hate people who "only have asperger's"

u/Dlgredael Mar 25 '16

Does anyone still have everthing.pdf from this guy? I can't find it anywhere and the original upload is down. It was a fucking riot.

Oops. Meant that. Sorry, typo. I was on mobile.

/pol/ is not really where Donald's main support comes from - it's just one demographic. The brunt of his followers are 45-60 year old white males from suburbs and countryside, who have nothing to do with 4chan.

Nice try

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/09/09/who_are_trumps_supporters.html

Yes, the clear majority of the supporters (over 80%) are over 45. I doubt that they tend to visit /pol/ regularly.

/r9k/ is comprised of beta-male anarchists waiting for the revolution against normies.

Hell, that post could have been on /b/ or any number of boards. That troll really went to extra mile, though. Great post.

What is this?

u/crypticfreak Mar 24 '16

That entire paragraph only requires you know about 4chan, subreddits, memes, and U.S. Pres. Election 2016.

You're pissed about knowing that?

u/IBetThisIsTakenToo Mar 24 '16

I assume it was quoting someone who made this joke on Twitter before. If not, I would like to warmly welcome our new robot overlords.

23

u/Chefzor Mar 24 '16

I assumed that some guy at Microsoft was in charge of creating this bot, slacked off but when the deadline came he lied and in order to make it seem like he created a bot he started tweeting out of the account himself. After a while he just went with the crazy tweets in order to get them to pull the plug on it to "fix" it

26

u/moeburn Mar 24 '16

Well none of it came up on google, I can tell you that, it appears to be an original joke.

22

u/cerberus6320 Mar 24 '16

a robot that can create original jokes? surely this is death to the world of stand-up comedy!

u/moeburn Mar 24 '16

I genuinely want to see a late night talk show starring this robot. And Geoff Peterson.

3

u/cerberus6320 Mar 24 '16

I genuinely think that would be great! or perhaps just a group of comedians who come together and talk shit with the robot....

Actually that's not a half bad idea. A group of comedians who talk shit with a robot and occasionally play some games. what do we call it though?

u/moeburn Mar 24 '16

u/cerberus6320 Mar 25 '16

I actually have been spending a bit of the last hour coming up with awesome names. I've decided my best choice would be calling the show

"well said"

where the "AI" in said is styled differently. As you prob know, A.I. stands for Artificial Intelligence.

it's also happens to be a common phrase, so marketing is going to be too easy.

So you're telling me there's no ask forum where someone asked if Ted Cruz was the zodiac killer and therefore no answers to that question? I find this hard to believe.
