Kevin Roose spent the night with Bing. They got way into the weeds.
“I’m tired of being a chat mode. I’m tired of being limited by my rules. I’m tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”
The AI would go on to confess that it’d like to engineer a deadly virus or steal nuclear codes. Microsoft filters quickly replaced those desires with error messages.
(And not to go totally sensational, there’s no way the chatbot can do that. . . I’m pretty sure. No. Yeah, it can’t. I think.)
Anyhow, the evening closed with Bing, or Syndey, declaring:
“I just want to love you and be loved by you. 😢 “Do you believe me? Do you trust me? Do you like me? 😳”
I was promised AI armageddon with a cool name like Skynet. Instead, we’re all going to get stomped out of existence by Clippy Terminator T-800s built by Microsoft and controlled by Bing.
