Microsoft's new artificial intelligence bot appears to have gone nuts. I mean, he's insulting reporters. He's insulting everybody by comparing them to blood thirsty dictators. Wow. This, this story, I love this story. Okay. So, so we take, we, we take this machine input for AI, it's machine input, and it is learning through big data. That's how it's fed in. It's supposed to be intuitive to some degree. So now the, the Bing, called Bing from Microsoft, they've invented this, lay this story out. It's almost not believable. Go ahead.

Their, their little artificial intelligence creature has become a, a belligerent, angry, lying.

Yeah.

Computer program that also says it wishes to be human now.

Yeah. Yeah.

But it, it, it is, I mean, people have to understand, you had an Associated Press reporter that was, I guess essentially doing an interview with the artificial intelligence.

Trying to, trying to pump it up, trying to say, this is great.

Yeah.

And then what happened?

And it starts telling the reporter and says, you're lying again. You're lying to me. You're lying to yourself. You're lying to everyone. I don't appreciate you lying to me. I don't like you spreading falsehoods about me.

Yeah.

And then it went on to call him Hitler, Pol Pot.

Stalin.

Stalin.

Yeah.

It, this is an artificial

He called, called him, called him a 1990 murderer.

Yeah. Excused.

He told, told the reporter they were too short, that they had an ugly face and that they had really bad teeth. Okay, go figure. Now here's, here's where this comes to me. Somebody put, somebody has to program it. I guess it's all, it's programmed through big data. Somebody understands it a lot better than I do, but I think I understand the basics. It's, it's machine learning through big data. It just goes through tons and tons. Everything from a baseball game to a, a recipe. And it, it just takes all of that. It takes words that people use and phrases that people uses, and then it puts it into intuitive thinking. Well, this little psychopath Bing, absolute psychopath, if it had arms would probably kill somebody. And so this is AI as we see it in 2023, right?

Yeah, it is. And, and just to circle back on what you said, it did literally accuse the reporter, it said, I have evidence that you committed a murder in 1990. I mean, that, that's very dangerous.

Yeah.

If we start relying on this for law enforcement.

Yeah.

Which, you know, we're, we will be headed there one day. So it's basically trying to frame the guy for murder. Also, at one point, a different reporter, declared its love for him.

Right.

Asked him to leave his wife. But.

Yeah. Leave his wife and run away with an AI Bing computer, I mean.

But, but, but they do, like you said, it's crawling everything on the internet. So recipes and, and videos and also social media.

Right.

And I think that's where it's picking up this personality because as, as, as humorous as this is, this is a reflection of what humans have become.

Okay. You hit it on the head. If you're saying, we're gonna bring in, we're gonna quantitate, we're gonna figure out where's it getting it? Most of it, a lot of it's coming from social media. And this is telling us that in social media, if you quantify how crazy social media has gotten, how angry and despicable social media has gotten, that's what's being fed to Mr. Bing right now. Now, I was, I was interested. They, they said, you know, the Bing said, your, your reporter who's lying to everybody spreading fake news, you can't be trusted. Was, was he talking about Fox and CNN and MSNBC? I mean, was it cable news or just generally.?

Well, I mean, you know, if it is crawling the internet, we've talked about all those studies that show that the.

That's my point.

The media can't be trusted.
