"Hey, so Markov chains are hip, we should launch one on Twitter."

"Are you sure that will be good for brand?"

"All the kids are on twitter, and all the kids love chatting. And look at the hilarious results from /r/subredditsimulator."

"You're talking about Reddit again, aren't you? Didn't I tell you not to talk about Reddit?"

"But sir, our market research indicates that Cleverbot hits all the demographics we're targeting. And besides, we'll have some human handlers around. Sort of."

Even Dr. Sbaitso knew making the chatbot say rude things was a thing people would want to do.
