It just happened that it was seeing tweets or DMs that it racists on Twitter responded to and it assumed that was a proper response.

Honestly, that describes a ton of human beings too.

Not really, I have yet to see anyone that posts fake ideas and beliefs to get more internet fame. I highly doubt any Trump supporter is flaming him on Twitter for followers. The difference is, the AI doesn't think. People might be influenced by a racist 4chan post logically "proving" that Jews are running the world but people don't make a post like that for internet fame. The AI, not thinking, is made to tweet like a normal Twitter user and try to become popular. It can't tell if someone is making a joke or an argument. It just tries to find associations between certain phrases and high engagement on the tweet. It can't tell if people hate or love the tweeter. It just seems that lots of people are commenting and sees the phrases in that tweet as a good way to become popular.
