A Week: Microsoft’s ‘Tay’ Is Now Tweeting About Smoking Weed
Less than a week after Microsoft launched “Tay,” an artificial intelligence messaging bot, and immediately saw it tweet out racist, misogynistic and anti-Semitic language, the tech brand has found trouble with its invention again.
According to the International Business Times, Tay, tweeted to multiple accounts—including one called Y0urDrugDealer—the following message: “kush! [I’m smoking kush infront the police]”. The term “kush” is slang for high-grade marijuana.
