Microsoft is out with its next Artificial Intelligence (AI) chat bot, Captionbot, which is built to recognise contents of a photo and come up with an appropriate caption. If you are thinking this will make people forget Microsoft’s last chat bot disaster, hold your thoughts right there. Just when the world was forgetting about its history, the IT giant drops another fiasco on the human world. But unfortunately this being the age of social media, the fiasco was ripped apart with hilarious trolls on Twitter.When CNNMoney fed the AI photos of the dictator and swastika, Captionbot responded, “I really can’t describe the picture” alongside a confused emoji.
Captionbot can’t recognize Osama Bin Laden too.
“We have implemented some basic filtering in an effort to prevent some abuse scenarios,” a spokesperson noted of the limitations.
Here are some of our favourite trolls of Captionbot.
