#2Or: We are in a bubble in Redmond and thinking we know best and how products work we bounced around emails and thought it would be a good testing idea based on results in China (a controlled market where it is nearly impossible speak up). AI buzz is hot these days so our marketing team also backed it up and we decided it would be great from a PR perspective to capture some of the buzz around AlphaGo. Boy were we so wrong. Because we have never launched a real product into the wild we thought everything would go well and PR buzz would give us a coolness bump.
Now we discovered something called stopwords, and bayseian spam filters which, are also available part of project Oxford.
Good luck kids and welcome to the real world because its a crazy world out there when you leave Redmond.

#8This reads like an apologee... But what is there to apologize for? They said that Tay was meant for entertainment, and I doubt that any wholesome varient would be a tenth of the hilarity of a neo-nazi sex crazed chat bot.

#9Is there any other evidence of this being a coordinated attack?

I suspect a Google Bomb style attack.
