I look at all the neuroses exhibited by Bing as a fun mirror that's showing us a version of ourselves.

I'll bet that the combative Bing you get as you repeatedly correct it is pulling its statistical correlations through the countless Internet flame wars it was trained upon.

Fun stuff!

A much better demo for the new Bing chatbot is here and shows what the potential is for research. No it's not going to replace writers or fact checking but it does make it much more productive when it works correctly. They still run into several issues while using it here but this is a beta and this reminds me of when all the search engines sucked but then Google came along and changed it all...

I think we are on the verge of something massive.

Today's AI, in the most part, is being developed by todays Mega Tech's and we all know or should know that they can not be trusted to do anything except feed and support their Ideology. Evidence is everywhere showing the bias's of Mega Tech is prevalent in this generation of AI. I for one give it a wide berth and hope others do, as well.

Reading this my mind was flashing on scenes from DeskSet. The Tracy/Hepburn movie about a computer named EMERAC that was to replace human researchers. Of course it failed hilariously. AI might be our future but I don’t think it’s going to be easy.
