'Fortnite' Darth Vader Proves AI Celebrities Are a Terrible Idea

New audiences are discovering George Lucas' Star Wars villain, Darth Vader, thanks to a new artificial-intelligence version of the character in the game Fortnite. Reflecting the worst elements of Zoomer humor, Darth Vader is now spewing racial stereotypes, obnoxious gibberish, and insults at the player base. The roll-out of chatbot-like characters was inevitable as the gaming industry seeks new gimmicks and monetizing opportunities to keep their products fresh (and profitable). Forget about kids being corrupted by vulgar entertainment. We should be worried about kids being a bad influence on the media.
