Didn't this already happen to a MS twitter bot? They released it in China and it tweeted about puppies and flowers and ice cream. The people who interacted with it loved it. Then they released it on US twitter and within 2 hours it was saying Bush did 9/11, saying Hitler was right, and calling for a race war.
This has happened to multiple chat bots, and I know at least one of them was done by MS. It seems that interacting with anonymous strangers on the internet has a predictable outcome, at least in the English-speaking 'net.

Reminds me of something I read about schizophrenia; apparently in non-Western countries, schizophrenic people report hallucinating about people they care about who tell them soothing and reaffirming things; in Western countries (or maybe specifically the US? I don't remember, it's been a while since I read the article/saw the documentary on youtube) however, people's hallucinations are often angry and threatening.
Indigenous communities (At least around where I'm from) say the same thing. They claim it only happens to those that have been lost spiritually by straying from the "directions" their ancestors were given.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Tay. I remember her for that time she got asked about whether Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer:
