A chatbot like Tay has no deep insight into the things it says. It's just pattern matching existing human messages from its dataset. The religious AI researchers would understand that just like I'm sure Microsoft's researchers understand why Tay said what it did.

They would perhaps conclude that an AI has no soul?

Probably, that seems it be their analogue of concluding Tay is "Nazi".
