He did run for president in 2012 with the 999 plan, though.

Right, and to my knowledge everything else said about President Herman Cain is correct - Godfather's Pizza, NRA, sexual harassment, etc.
But notice... I keep claiming that Cain was President, and the bot didn't correct me. It didn't just respond with true information, it allowed false information to stand unchallenged. What I've effectively done is shown AI's inability to handle a firehose of falsehood. Humans already struggle with dealing this kind of disinformation campaign, now imagine that you could use AI to automate the generation and/or dissemination of misinformation.
