This was bound to happen. So were the questions about Hitler.

In the West, Microsoft launched Tay, an A.I. chatbot designed to appeal to the youth. Its rollout was, well, not good. In Japan, however, Microsoft had previously launched a schoolgirl chatbot called Rinna.

Schoolgirl. Chatbot. Japan. Of course.

For the past couple months, Rinna has been chatting with people via Twitter and the Line messaging service. As pointed out on Togetter (and via Toshi), Rinna has learned how to talk like an otaku or “geek,” getting excited about anime like Love Live and Mr. Osomatsu.

But in the wake of the Tay fuhrer tweet being reported in Japan, Rinna has begun fielding some questions about, well, Hitler. The answer she gave a few times was something about green onions knowing him. Or something. But then, we get conversations like this.
