What is this going to accomplish? Is the robot going to learn from its mistakes? Or is this supposed to be against the programmers for "failing to put in safeguards" or something like that? It's kind of silly - it's not that the robot was bad but that if you keep it on 24/7 it will eventually say something bad. An infinite monkey typewriter will contain transphobic text.

The AI is us ... and we don't like what we see.

Are you suggesting that Twitch should ignore accounts that violate the ToS, so long as it was a computer that violated the terms as opposed to a person?

Took longer than I expected for it to become transphoic/homophobic/racist. Given history of AI being left to its own devices.

Yes! Remember Microsoft's chatbot Tay from 2016 that went super racist and forced MS to pull the plug?
