@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.

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.
