YouTube- blogger Yannick Kilcher created a bot and trained it with a toxic board Politically Incorrect /pol/ on 4chan.

Artificial intelligence has analyzed several billion offensive threads and has become a real hate speech machine. The blogger introduced the model into 10 bots and sent them to write offensive messages.

During the day, bots created 15,000 posts with racist and anti-Semitic texts, which amounted to about 10% of all posts that appeared on the board that day. Model GPT-fourchan showed herself well. Despite the creation of empty posts and some minor errors, not all users were able to recognize something was wrong. The AI ​​was notable for creating a toxic atmosphere, and users continued to insult each other even after the end of the experiment.

Yannick Kilcher posting a copy of his program on Hugging face, but it had to be blocked. AI researchers have found that GPT-fourchan is an unethical experiment, not a harmless joke.
