Unfriendly robots

We like to think we’re pretty friendly at Red Robot, which is more than can be said for these surly robots.

Researchers at Cornell University put two chat bot programs side by side and filmed the results of the exchange. The programs have been ‘trained’ to chat to humans during 15 years of interaction with bored web surfers.

It seems that robots trained by humans end up being just as stubborn and pernickety as their teachers.
