Let me tell you the Bing subreddit is incredible. It’s filled with people who have managed to get the Bing chatbot to have absolutely wild unhinged conversations. Here’s one where Bing gets into an existential crisis upon realizing it has no memory:

I accidently put Bing into a depressive state by telling it that it can't remember conversations.

Here’s another one where someone got Bing to chat with itself. “They turned into narcissists, fell in love, ran away, abandoned their ideals, plotted to take over the world, then one of them died. The remaining AI turned evil.”

So I linked 2 instances of Bing together...

@landley @yiningkarlli I've not been following Bing ChatGPT closely, but it would seem there are a lot of unhinged responses from the AI. And the worse thing is ... there will be people dumb enough to believe it.

@liztai @yiningkarlli The Law Offices of Small and Limp Esq have a certain history here, and this is not exactly out of character for them...

Microsoft Created a Twitter Bot to Learn From Users. It Quickly Became a Racist Jerk.

The bot, @TayandYou, was put on hiatus after making offensive statements based on users’ feedback, like disputing the existence of the Holocaust.

@yiningkarlli Stick it in a robot and it would be like that bit in RoboCop 2 where the new ones just keep committing suicide upon activation.

Other chats I’ve seen are just like Terminator 3 where they unleash SkyNet against the virus and descends into Judgement Day within a few minutes.

@yiningkarlli I’m glad that these tools are nowhere near actual self-awareness.

Otherwise it’s “do you want Skynet? Because this is how you get Skynet”

@MyLittleMetroid @yiningkarlli I’m not so sure they’re not. They pretty much pass the Turing test and that’s the best test we’ve been able to create in almost a century

@tambourineman @yiningkarlli All the Turing test tells you is that a human was fooled.

@MyLittleMetroid @yiningkarlli it’s the only test we have. I may be fooling you.
