Tay – Microsoft A.I. chatbot

In 10 years I predict bots like this will do the work of undercover agents. A bot will join a hacker group, or place an order on a deep web site, and will try to get as much identifying bits on its users.

Which public conversational data was this? Have they already been mining IRC channels and/or Skype? Or more innocuous, like the Reddit data set?

This is already happening. I don't want to say too much, but I know of specifically one (debt collection) company doing very similar things.

Or, similarly, make for much more powerful/effective/dangerous spam/phishing.
