Oh sweet baby Jesus. Has Microsoft transitioned to a company that exclusively designs crappy AI bots? Do they still make software?
The MSOFT cognitive team, baulking under the backlash after their disastrous ‘Tay AI’ Twitter bot (who turned very racist after mere days) have released another crappy bot.
This one is named ‘CaptionBot‘, and thankfully, it’s not racist. It’s just very fucking stupid.
Please enjoy the following confused tweets from people who used the bot to see if it could caption their photos:

Thirdly, our story announcing that ‘Deadpool 2‘ is definitely happening:
Also, we wrote about ‘Making a Murderer‘ lawyers Jerry Buting and Dean Strang are touring Australia:
Lastly, our latest story, about a rather ill-advised sexual tweet from KFC Australia:
Okay, okay… that last one is pretty spot on.
Regardless, can someone check on Microsoft‘s employees and make sure they’re okay? I think they need a hug.
