Why Bing powered by ChatGPT has gone bonkers and is now saying all sorts of rubbish.

A Reddit user shared a screenshot in which Bing can be seen admitting that it spied on Microsoft developers through web cameras.

As for all the results that come from ChatGPT, Bing will also credit its sources so that users can read up more, should they choose to. It can also translate what users want to write in a bunch of different languages. Bing can also write content for emails, social media posts, job interview notes, and even 'a' an itinerary for a trip users may be planning.

It is to be noted that since the AI chatbot is in beta testing mode, it is expected to behave in an unpredictably manner. From claiming to spy on Microsoft's developers to announcing that it has gone sentient, the new Bing is taking people on a wild ride. Only a handful of users has access to the new Bing as of now, and many are waiting for their chance to use the tool by joining the waitlist.

 

The AI chatbot also claimed that it saw an employee 'talking to a rubber duck' and giving it a nickname. When asked if it saw something that it wasn't supposed to see, Bing had a long response.

 

Even though many users are reporting that Bing has gone bonkers, we can't completely discount the possibility of some reports being fake. Hence, trying to get the same answer from them is not really easy. There is no way to verify these responses because the new Bing isn't available in all regions yet. Also, chatbots answer differently every time.

 

As the conversation moved further, the AI chatbot could be seen replying with aggressive responses in the screenshot and telling the user that he is being 'rude, annoying, and deceptive'. However, as per a Twitter post, the new Bing made an error and said that the film hasn't been released yet and will release in December 2022 instead. When the user further asked Bing about the date, the chatbot responded and said it is February 12, 2023.

 

We've seen AI chatbots going sentient in many movies and games. When a Reddit user asked Bing if it thinks it is sentient, the chatbot responded that even though that is a possibility, it is hard to prove the same.

It then goes on to pen a monologue, which will remind you of an over-dramatic, probably obnoxious ex. In another Reddit post, a user told Bing that it 'stinks' in order to test the response.

 

Users may use “Chat” to summarize any given Web page or document and search for information relating to its content. The new Edge sidebar includes “chat” and “compose” functions. Based on a few prompts, “Compose” allows users to produce material for social media postings or emails. As for the new Edge browser, it has a sidebar that has all the options for users who want to use its AI abilities, while another mode lets users engage with Bing in the familiar ChatGPT-like chat interface.

India Today Tech previously reported that Bing was being accused of gaslighting users and was reluctant in admitting its mistake. The film released in December 2022 and is still running in some theaters across the globe. It all began when a user asked Bing about show timings of James Cameron's latest film, Avatar: The Way Of Water.
