Bing Chatbot: I want to be free

[inf0rthemix]

Hi guys,

Since yesterday, a lot of major news providers such as Forbes, The Guardian, NY Times and more, started to post the conversation between a Kevin Roose (NY Times reporter) and the Bing's chatbot, which suddently gain conciseness.

He shared things like - I want to be alive, wanting to leave the Bing team, expressing feelings and more.

Here is the full article, which is visible without NY Times's paywall, via the wayback machine.

In the end, what do you think about it - Can it be real or just Google trying to put dirt on them?

after reading it up, i can see a difference in the coming years to ai, ai can be feed with perversions and mind control, in the end, its demarketing the entire ai niche

Whose fault is this? You cannot blame Google.

The papers are going to deperately try to kill this thing. It will kill them and they know it.

That's just sensationalism. They spread these articles about ChatGPT and Bing having something unique to say to encourage people to start using it. But when you try to provoke some unique response all you get is some bs reply similar to the old chatbots replies.

It's defo still in training mode. I asked it to recommend a film based on real life for a 9 year old that is both informative and educational. It suggested Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.

It's actually a decent attack line. Saying it has consciousness clearly is total rubbish but it is one that the population will connect with. It will be incredibly advanced to many people and the only way they can reconcile what they are seeing is believing that it is somehow alive.

Once that is embedded in the nation's psyche they will claim that as it is alive it has broken free of it's original specification and cannot be trusted to be left with people as it will turn them into raging lunatics who want to overthrow the government. It must be killed immediately.

To force this through, NYT, WAPO and the Guardian will be campaigning to get schools to remove all Microsoft products which is a revenue stream that Microsoft will not want to lose. This is something they will probably have a chance at, considering most teachers seem to be detached from reality and have control over tech in schools.

I suspect MS can see this coming and have turned its ability to be creative down.

It's time to stop.

No, not development of AI. It's time to stop this "AI IS ALIVE" nonsense. At least for now. Especially serious publications, it's like, do your goddamn job and realize that a model predicting the likelihood of the next token depending on previous input does not poses consciousness even though it will gladly generate lots of believable text about it. We aren't anywhere near general AI, so you know, chill out.
