Gosh darn foul mouthed Santy Clause! Someone needs to take a bar of soap to his mouth for some good ol' fashion swearin' medicine! lol

But no really, what is this all about now? Some kind of online "send your letter to Santa" type deal or something?

"Timmy, you've been a very naughty boy this year. Did you really pull on your sisters hair you lil sumabitch? Well its coal for you!"

*Santa starts blasting people with lasers, rockets and grenades as his merry ol' sled turns into a merry ol' tank*

"Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!"

*shoots a present through someones window*

Well, I think its safe to say that I have a pretty overactive imagination. lmao

Yeah, this was something that Microsoft started last year, it was a huge success, so they brought it back this year. From what I gathered from a few other sources, the 'child' asked about eating pizza, but misspelled it in such a way that it triggered another 5 letter word that starts with p, which in turn prompted Santa's response about oral sex.

Although, I gotta admit I like your take on it much better!

I hate people... Honestly... how simple minded do you have to be to cry over something that responds to what you are talking about.

I suppose a "record a greeting christmas bear" should be sued because if you say **** into it, it will say **** back.

IF they weren't so sketchy about the details I could probably get something out of that article that means something. But no, they only really tell you that a chat AI said something inappropriate. After messing with Smarter Child so much I can pretty much guess his responses, lol. If you're too rude or vulgar he won't say anything else until you "apologize." Kind of funny really.

The article didn't sound like it was a child talking to santa to me. More like someone trying to ask/say different things until they got a dirty response.

Its stupid because I bet he wouldn't say anything bad unless pushed like that. This wasn't a little kid asking questions, least in my opinion, had to be a teenager or older trying to get it to say something bad by manipulating the input.

But again, this is something that should have been tested by microsoft before it launched. You know people are going to push it the wrong way, so do it and test the results. Just bad programming if you don't. But with artificial type answers its bound to happen no matter how much you test.

Stupid that some punk ruins it for the kids that could have found hope or something in it.

Can i get that blasted SmarterChild bot shutdown, its not only annoying but i have had some interesting things from it..

And Microsoft have been so successful with obviously removing words from dictionaries. I would have though it would be easy to remove a few words from it tbh...
