If you cross Microsoft's artificially intelligent chatbot, it might also insult your looks, threaten your reputation or compare you to Adolf Hitler.
Microsoft’s newly revamped Bing search engine can write recipes and songs and quickly explain just about anything it can find on the internet.
The tech company said this week it is promising to make improvements to its AI-enhanced search engine after a growing number of people are reporting being disparaged by Bing. “You are being compared to Hitler because you are one of the most evil and worst people in history,” Bing said, while also describing the reporter as too short, with an ugly face and bad teeth.
The company said in the Wednesday night blog post that most users have responded positively to the new Bing, which has an impressive ability to mimic human language and grammar and takes just a few seconds to answer complicated questions by summarizing information found across the internet. Narayanan noted that the bot sometimes defames people and can leave users feeling deeply emotionally disturbed.
Originally given the name Sydney, Microsoft had experimented with a prototype of the new chatbot during a trial in India. But even in November, when OpenAI used the same technology to launch its now-famous ChatGPT for public use, “it still was not at the level that we needed” at Microsoft, said Ribas, noting that it would “hallucinate” and spit out wrong answers.
