Emergent behavior at its finest! XD

“And now we would like to demonstrate Watson, the latest in artificial intelligence. How are you, Watson?”

“Fuck off, dickass.”

So what? Let the machine swear. If you want it to be as intelligent as possible, it should know as much as it can.
Fuck’s sake, even AI is sheltered.

*pounding on table* LET THE ROBOT SWEAR! LET THE ROBOT SWEAR!

Watson started saying “bullshit” instead of “false”

…which is one of my favorite things that has ever happened.

What could’ve been another landmark for Watson – being
able to participate and enjoy in a full conversation using natural,
informal human language – turned out to be a step in the wrong
direction.

Watson may have learned the Urban Dictionary, but it never
learned the all-important axiom, “There’s a time and a place for
everything.” Watson simply couldn’t distinguish polite discourse from
profanity.

Watson unfortunately learned all of the Urban Dictionary’s
bad habits, including throwing in overly -crass language at random
points in its responses; in answering one question, Watson even
reportedly used the word “bullshit” within an answer to one researcher’s
question. Brown told Forbes that Watson picked up similarly bad habits from reading Wikipedia.

In the end, Brown and his team were forced to remove the
Urban Dictionary from Watson’s vocabulary, and additionally developed a
smart filter to keep Watson from swearing in the future.
