You know things there’s progress being made in the AI\u00a0world\u00a0when\u00a0your chatbots start responding with snark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft’s just released their latest chatbot, Zo. Zo was launched last December on Kik, and has now made her way on to Facebook Messenger.\u201cShe learns from human interactions to respond emotionally and intelligently, providing a unique viewpoint, along with manners and emotional expressions,” says Microsoft. And thanks to be being build using “the vast social content of the internet”, Zo has a bit of a personality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from dissing Apple, Zo\u00a0trash talks other corporations too.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also ribs on her boss, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Satya Nutella” would probably want Zo to tone down the snark. Microsoft had released a chatbot called Tay last year, and it too\u00a0was built using similar principles of learning from social\u00a0conversations. Tay had been made live on twitter, and thanks to trolls\u00a0tweeting racist and sexist things at it, had managed to become pretty gnarly itself. “Kanye west is is one of the biggest dooshes of all time, just a notch below cosby,” it had said<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft has said that it has taken precautions such such things happening, but Zo continues to make some unnerving observations about the tech world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zo clearly isn’t afraid to have opinions. She also\u00a0isn’t a big fan of politics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/span><\/p>\n

…and lets you know when she isn’t interested in particular topics.\u00a0We know how you feel, Zo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rather interestingly, Zo also makes typos…and then automatically corrects herself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen <\/span><\/p>\n

Being built using conversations people have on the web, she also has her internet lingo down pat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Screen <\/span><\/p>\n

And even though Zo was built using\u00a0years of research, many advances in tech, and cutting-edge machine learning, she’s still\u00a0saying what the world most of the world has long suspected.\"Screen<\/span><\/p>\n
