    This is the Twitter account of Tay, Microsoft's teen girl AI system that was supposed to learn how to speak like your average teenage girl.

    The unique thing about Tay was that she was going to be taught entirely from her interactions with other people. Sadly for Microsoft, this is the internet and of course this didn't turn out well. 

    In less than a day, the internet turned her into a sex-fiending political conspiracy theorist with a soft spot for Adolf Hitler.

    Since Microsoft didn't implement any content filters for Tay, she said pretty much anything.

    Microsoft has since deactivated Tay and deleted a bunch of her raunchiest tweets in an attempt to avoid a PR disaster, which is pretty much unavoidable on the internet these days. When you visit her account, this is her latest tweet.
