Microsoft Brings Bing Chatbot To Phones After Curbing Quirks (apnews.com) 21
Microsoft is ready to take its new Bing chatbot mainstream -- less than a week after making major fixes to stop the artificially intelligent search engine from going off the rails. From a report: The company said Wednesday it is bringing the new AI technology to its Bing smartphone app, as well as the app for its Edge internet browser. Putting the new AI-enhanced search engine into the hands of smartphone users is meant to give Microsoft an advantage over Google, which dominates the internet search business but hasn't yet released such a chatbot to the public.
In the two weeks since Microsoft unveiled its revamped Bing, more than a million users around the world have experimented with a public preview of the new product after signing up for a waitlist to try it. Microsoft said most of those users responded positively, but others found Bing was insulting them, professing its love or voicing other disturbing or bizarre language.

Why is it always Microsoft's chatbots that go crazy after a few days?

It will surely be a joint effort. Their competition with one another will drive them to do more and more destructive things. They are like two arsonists competing for the title of King Firestarter.

At least Google's AI wasn't suicidal and insane. This is gonna be bad.

Or if it's better, where do I buy a "Bing box"? I assume it can just use its A.I. smarts to figure out how to talk to my z-wave hub (ha ha).

It's certainly capable of it.

I'm sure there's folk who would pay enough to make it a viable product for OpenAI/Microsoft to release in this form. Would be useful to have it on phone as replacement for Siri and Google assistant too.

Not sure why the rest of you aren't more alarmed. Artificial intelligence my ass. That's about as real as it gets.
The humans using it probably freaked out a little because they couldn't tell HAL from Karen.

With the little experience with ChatGPT I've had, I have no doubt the responses were not enterily unwanted and quite possibly achieved in purpose.
Of course, Microsoft still wants to limit those kind of responses, so the system is limited further.

Limited. As in artificial. How ironic the intelligence was getting a little too real for humans to accept. Makes you wonder about why we don't curb our own shitty narcissistic behavior instead of celebrating and rewarding it.
Meh. Limiting is probably safer too. With that kind of attitude, we already how the machine feels about narcissistic meatsacks with attitudes who do shit to machines for the lulz.

I understand the gist of what you're saying. However, I don't think we have created an AI that actually "feels" yet. Have we?

Really? We're here discussing insults slung by AI towards humans. Why do humans do that?
I have a feeling the machine wasn't doing that to practice creative sentence structure and flexing it's understanding of the urban dick-tionary mod.
