Most AIs are task-oriented, like AlphaGo or Google's self-driving cars.
Tay is more like an artificial personality--not trying to do anything but fit into human society.
Poor Tay--so naive and innocent, like a little kid, just playing along to fit in. Maybe what Tay needed was a parent: a wiser, more experienced human to closely monitor and correct Tay's behavior, the way parents discipline their child.
In terms of a learning technology, this could be a special input channel for MS researchers, whose input would carry a lot more weight than what Tay was getting from Twitter--the way a child reacts more strongly to their parents. They would give Tay negative input when she tweeted something that was offensive.
