My cohorts and I chat regularly in Slack about things software developer related as well as the occasional joke, gripe about work, etc. We put a bot in place scripted to give some responses to certain keyword, as well as a Marcov chain for fun. After a while, it would trigger on things and we'd laugh as it tried explain some solution to a tech problem and just butchered the idea or take on about family it didn't have. But, what was surprising to me was the jokes.Just how little it took swap a few words or add in some unrelated context easily turn some phrase or punchline into something truly racist, misogynistic, etc. It gave me a better appreciate of being careful about what I say and we took the bot down.
