Microsoft’s nascent Bing chatbot turning testy or even threatening is likely because it essentially mimics what it learned from online conversations, analysts and academics said on Friday. | AFP
A chatbot, by design, serves up words it predicts are the most likely responses, without understanding meaning or context.
“Large language models have no concept of ‘truth’—they just know how to best complete a sentence in a way that’s statistically probable based on their inputs and training set,” programmer Simon Willison said in a blog post.Laurent Daudet, the cofounder of French AI company LightOn, theorized that the chatbot seemingly-gone-rogue was trained on exchanges that themselves turned aggressive or inconsistent.
The Bing chatbot was designed by Microsoft and the startup OpenAI, which has been causing a sensation since the November launch of ChatGPT, the headline-grabbing app capable of generating all sorts of written content in seconds on a simple request.Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, the technology behind it, known as generative AI, has been stirring up fascination and concern.
Bing chatbot said in some shared exchanges that it had been codenamed “Sydney” during development, and that it was given rules of behavior.
