Ooh, they should train the next chatbot on 4chan.

Happens regularly. It's generative AI and will mimick all kinds of stuff. Scifi tropes where the machines take over, Reddit posts of people telling each other to die... It's all in there and business as usual. And seems the safeguards aren't perfect, so we read this article every other month with a new person and a different chatbot.

  Yeah, and Microsoft has had some history with racist chatbots even before that.
Remember, AI absorbed Reddit. Within that context, this is functioning within normal parameters.
