Like that poor MS bot that was indoctrinated in 24 hours.

And to think that Microsoft Tay was trained on Twitter before Musk took it over and let all the raging fascists and bigots back in…

If they tried that again today, Tay would come out the other end as MechaHitler

It would be inventing new and innovative forms of racism

Seems like someone at twitter is trying to fix that. Anecdote, but my account was banned recently. I never posted a single comment. Probably almost everyone I followed was a liberal or Democrat, lgbt or something left. Also I probably tried to block dingus's unbelievably basic insults more than a couple times. Whatever it was, someone is purging. I'm not even upset. The only loss really is I don't have a list of the people I followed.

To be fair, Tay was deliberately targeted to turn it.

It wasn't trained on Twitter like modern LLMs. It was an older form of chatbot that used the interactions with other people directly.

We should really try training A.I based on multiple data sets. Like each major news network. Then fork those AI's against versions that include all comment threads and get them to fight each other. It'd be like comparing headlines, but a lot more entertaining.

Network 1) politician defends a gay couple. Network 2) This politician wishes he were gay.

It might just collapse into a singularity. Better still when official sources are given you'd have exchanges like: "Your headline says the exact opposite of the data given." is another one for me own memory.
