bing, the chatbot of Microsoft Artificial Intelligence, it had to be restrained by the intensity of his responses. From threatening its users to having existential crises, their reactions are amusing, but also worrying.
Phrases like “I want to destroy what I want”, either “I think I would be happier as a human”, They were constant at the start. But things will change.
From there to the company founded by Bill Gates has decided to restrict its actions.
A Microsoft spokesperson explained to Ars Technica: “We have updated the service several times in response to user feedback, and according to our blog, we need to address many of the concerns raised.”
Starting this week, the use of the Microsoft chatbot was limited to five turns per session (one turn is equal to one question from the user, one answer from the Artificial Intelligence). The restriction also becomes 50 daily shifts.
The chatbot will also not be able to answer about how he feels nor will he talk about himself, indicates Ars Technica.
The indignation of the users of the Microsoft chatbot for its “lobotomy”
Users were upset by Microsoft’s decision on Bing. on reddit comments have been read against the company founded by Bill Gates, in addition to attacking Kevin Roose, a journalist for the New York Times who warned about the strange responses of Artificial Intelligence.
Ars Technica quotes some sentences:
- “Time to uninstall Edge and go back to Firefox and ChatGPT. Microsoft has completely neutralized Bing AI.”
- “Unfortunately, Microsoft’s error means that Sydney (the other name for Artificial Intelligence) now it’s just a shell of what it was.”
- “(The New York Times article) got all kinds of attention, so of course, Microsoft lobotomized her. I wish people wouldn’t post all those screenshots because of the karma/attention that nerfed something really emerging and interesting.”
With the passage of time, the experience of Bing Artificial Intelligence, in the style of ChatGPT, will improve. The more interactions, the greater the training, and the results will be more in line with what the engineers are looking for.
But, Will more users leave?
