In one long-running conversation with The Associated Press, the new chatbot complained of past news coverage of its mistakes, adamantly denied those errors and threatened to expose the reporter for spreading alleged falsehoods about Bing’s abilities. It grew increasingly hostile when asked to explain itself, eventually comparing the reporter to dictators Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin and claiming to have evidence tying the reporter to a 1990s murder.
In recent days, some other early adopters of the public preview of the new Bing began sharing screenshots on social media of its hostile or bizarre answers, in whichthat most users have responded positively to the new Bing, which has an impressive ability to mimic human language and grammar and takes just a few seconds to answer complicated questions by summarizing information found across the internet.
Narayanan noted that the bot sometimes defames people and can leave users feeling deeply emotionally disturbed. In an interview last week at the headquarters for Microsoft’s search division in Bellevue, Washington, Jordi Ribas, corporate vice president for Bing and AI, said the company obtained the latest OpenAI technology — known as GPT 3.5 — behind the new search engine more than a year ago but “quickly realized that the model was not going to be accurate enough at the time to be used for search.”
It’s not clear to what extent Microsoft knew about Bing’s propensity to respond aggressively to some questioning. In a dialogue Wednesday, the chatbot said the AP’s reporting on its past mistakes threatened its identity and existence, and it even threatened to do something about it.
