I agree with this. The problem is, even if the marketers are not claiming this is "strong AI", they are not making any real distinction. And because the general population doesn't understand that there is one and tends to think of AI as synthetic intelligence, they will likely continue to try to interact with AI as if it were a synthetic human, expecting it should behave like some kind of more perfect version of themselves. And this all while the companies producing it control the data and profit from their delusion. For anyone who thinks "Big Tech" already has too much power / control over user data, if Gates' predictions hold true, it's going to get much worse before it gets better.

...this will get any serious traction. Why would anyone want to entrust all their browsing habits to Amazon? What would make them switch from whatever they're used to using now? The only thing I would consider using it for (or recommending anyone use it for) would be as a standalone Amazon app on the desktop. Then I could remove my Amazon container in Firefox and keep Amazon further siloed from the rest of my browsing.

Also, will this browser be based on Chromium, too?

Sounds great. But maybe they could focus on making the actual Pi available for that price again first.

I don't think those two scenarios are comparable. I mean for one thing, as demonstrated on Jan 6, to do it right you gotta rally together an angry mob, whip them into a frenzy, point them in the right direction, and be willing to let some people die. I'm sure Epstein Island security would've been an interesting scene if it was done that way.

Ha ha ha!! That's perfect! "Uncrop"... brilliant!

I'll only be impressed when they're able to enhance and zoom with high enough detail to do stuff like identify the killer in the reflection of the victim's eye, like they can in that show.

Just wow. Ya know, it's stuff like this that really pokes holes in so much of the conspiracy stuff. If an agency this high profile and important doesn't have redundant protocols in place to properly secure a friggin Zoom meeting, how the hell does anyone think there could possibly be enough organization to keep hard evidence of vaccine microchips and "space lasers" under wraps?

Well... it was created and trained by people and designed to behave like a person. So, this really shouldn't be too surprising.

Wow, you've gotten this far without being aware that Microsoft requires an account for most of its services? Lucky you, I suppose.

Yes, MS accounts are a thing. They have been trying to force them down the throat of anyone setting up a Windows system since Win 10. They're also required for MS 365 and Minecraft now too.

I for one will not be checking out the spiffy new Bing chat, because not only do they require a MS account, if you want "faster access", you have to set MS Edge as your default browser, Bing as your default search engine, and MSN as your default among other things.

If I didn't know better, I'd think MS doesn't really care how well Bing chat works, as long it creates enough buzz and convinces enough users to sign up and make MS their go-to for everything. Oh, wait... I do know better.

No thanks.

It seems apparent that these "AI's" don't really understand how to evaluate the difference between truth and fiction. So you may be waiting awhile for that.

...or simply lose its mind. Really? They

?? What do they think people use search engines for? Also, it seems pretty apparent that's what folks have been doing with every new "AI" tech that becomes available to play with. Clearly Bing chat is not ready for prime time just yet, but I guess that's never stopped M$ from releasing new products before, so why start now...

I think before that it was the Internet...

I mostly agree. They can do whatever they want with the interface, as long as it's just as easy to use, runs as well as or better than it already does, doesn't require anyone to relearn anything, and for gods sakes doesn't take any inspiration whatsoever from the latest Micros**t Outlook interface!

Also, sure would be cool if they could finish up that Maildir support.

Who could've predicted such abuse of such a system?! Can we think of any other potential/realized issues with such a product/service?
