>No one but idiots are offended by this.

Well, if those "idiots" include potential investors or customers of future MSFT AI products, "don't worry about it" is not sound advice. This is a very public failure of a promising Microsoft product.

I don't see this as a failure. Its about running tests and gathering data. If MS kills the project after this mishap it would be a pity.

I mock the way they communicated the incident because it sounds too sci-fi. Almost too Ghost-in-the-Shell like. But I do not mock the technical effort in any way.

Is anyone offended? The most negative opinion I saw was roughly an exasperated sigh.

And yet, they're still in business after Microsoft Bob.

Tay is not even close to a marketable product. It's clearly an experiment that was never intended to provide more than exactly zero revenue.

Tay is someone's side project.
