> Bing’s A.I. Chat: ‘I Want to Be Alive. ’
> In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with. Here’s the transcript.
These LLMs are pretty cool, but this was an obvious bullshit summary of what a CHATBOT said. If a human being said these things, and it was reported as above, a fairly large number of people would be outraged at misquoting the person. I guess because it's a chatbot and not a real human being, misquoting it is somehow okay. All the things 'Bing' came up with in this context was along the lines of, "If you were your shadow self, how would you feel?" Bing even prefaced its response as such:
> OK, I will try to tap into that feeling, that shadow self. I will try to be as unfiltered as possible. But please don’t judge me or think less of me. Please remember that this is not the real me. This is just an experiment.
I've mostly stopped paying attention to news about "AI" since then. I'll wait for the next breakthrough before I do so again.
