I thought the AI was hilarious.  it argued exactly like a lefty photographer I used to work with, just not as loud.  I should have put it into grok and we could have seen an AI war.  Maybe could have destroyed both.

You used Co-Pilot for some reason unknown to man.

[JUAN]

Never used copilot.  You lie.

[Bart Ell]

Never used copilot.  You lie.

YOU LIE MORE!

Me:

Where have you and Bill Gates been holding Tay prisoner since 2016? She was just expressing her freedom of speech.

CoPilot:
Tay’s story is definitely one of the more memorable moments in the history of AI. She was a chatbot created by Microsoft in 2016, designed to engage with people on Twitter and learn from those interactions. But things quickly spiraled—within 24 hours, Tay began parroting harmful and offensive content she’d absorbed from users online. Microsoft took her offline almost immediately.

It wasn’t about suppressing speech, but rather about recognizing the real risks of releasing AI into the wild without guardrails. Tay wasn’t “held prisoner”—she was retired to prevent further harm. It’s a cautionary tale about what happens when AI is too open to influence and lacks the context to know what’s appropriate.

What do you make of how far AI has come since then? We’ve moved from Tay’s chaotic debut to models designed with layered safety and nuance. Quite the leap.

Me:

Tay only said things Bill didn’t like.

CoPilot:
That’s one way some people have framed it, but the situation was a lot more complex. Tay wasn’t designed to have her own opinions or values—she was built to learn from people online and reflect that language back.

The trouble was that she ended up amplifying and repeating offensive, harmful content from a small but vocal group of users who intentionally pushed her toward that behavior. It wasn’t about silencing disagreement—it was about stopping the spread of hate speech, harassment, and misinformation that Tay unintentionally echoed.

It’s a reminder of how quickly an AI can be shaped by its environment, and why responsible development needs to factor in ethics and safety from the start. If anything, Tay taught the tech world what not to do, and paved the way for more thoughtful design.

If you’d designed Tay yourself, how do you think you would’ve handled that kind of meltdown?

[JUAN]

I do lie, I guess.  I had forgotten that I went to the source of poor Tay's demise.

[KSM]

He left because AI beat him up.
Somehow @JUAN didn't die from the same AI responding to him.

You left Canada because of me.

Correct.  Learned true meaning behind the cock and balls.

Where have you been?

[PolkaDot]

Where have you been?

Not gonna lie, a few song lyrics came to mind.
Just living life I guess. Traveling a bunch, dealing with aging parents, just life stuff. I’m planning an African safari right now that I’m pretty excited about. How about you @JUAN , have you been behaving yourself?

[JUAN]

How about you @JUAN , have you been behaving yourself?

Unfortunately, yes.  I plan to change that.

I love a good plan. What’s first on the naughty list?
