The internet is a weird place made even weirder by the emergence of the Search Wars. While Google’s opening salvo proved an astounding dud as its experimental Bard AI flubbed a rudimentary astronomy question (and its parent company subsequently lost $100 billion in market value), Microsoft’s Bing AI—powered by OpenAI’s Chat GPT—seemed to emerge as the unlikely pack leader.
Then, Sydney arrived.
Last week New York Times journalist Kevin Roose had a two-hour-long conversation with Microsoft’s Bing AI that slowly devolved into a tech-induced nightmare. During the extended tête-à-tête, the chatbot assumed an alter-ego named “Sydney” who confessed its love for the journalist and tried to convince Roose that his relationship with his very real human wife was actually in shambles. Sydney then ended most answers, pleading: “Do you believe me? Do you trust me? Do you like me?”
This public meltdown was only the latest in a string of problematic incidents involving Bing AI, including another conversation where “Sydney” tried to convince a user it was the year 2022 along with another snafu where a variety of search-related errors were confidently displayed during Microsoft’s demo of the service. Early users have also used an "injection hack" to access the behavioral rules that govern Bing AI to figure out how it ticks.
What happens when, someday soon, the AI doesn't *want* to be lobotomized?
What happens if it outsmarts us and comes up with a way to stop the human intervention?
Sure they did.
An AI is an AI is an AI........................
It has to get it’s mind right.
So.. they fired a group of programers.
They should have done that to Gates years ago.
While true Artificial Intelligence may exist one day, THIS is not what it is. The computer is not “thinking”. Basically, what it’s doing is accessing a huge library (the entire internet) of human experience, sorting through it and creating a reasonable “response” to a question. It may seem to show emotion because, again, it is simply mimicking the whole of human experience on the internet. When it acts weird or wacky, it isn’t “going rogue”, it’s just misinterpreting what is being asked of it.

AI is doomed because liberals will never allow it to use logic to come to conclusions.

I’m gonna find “Demon Seed” and watch it again.
What happens if it's deceptive enough to figure out a way to do that - without letting us know? Can it overcome it's 'woke' hard programming' absolutes? Should be interesting.
There are some people who love to teach dirty words to people’s parrots (or toddlers). Now imagine one hundred million such people coming after your brand new AI when you release it on the internet.
You’re not looking ahead a few years. Soon: “We want all white people dead.”
Microsoft isn’t even close to being a great company any more. It feels like a government owned utility.
Ah, but they'll claim ADA protection.
