       There are a LOT of screenshots of the current Bing floating around right now where it answers questions with hilariously bad answers. This is NOT the new Bing though: this is Bing's existing version of Google's "featured snippets"The new Bing is still behind a waitlist for most people. I've attached a screenshot of that taken from this Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23587454/microsoft-bing-edge-chatgpt-ai

       If you see a screenshot like this one you can dunk on it all you like but it's NOT the new GPT-3 enhanced Bing: this is something a Bing has been doing poorly for a long time in its existing form

       The best screenshots I've seen of the new Bing chat interface so far are in this Reddit gallery, where the bot genuinely ends up trying to passive aggressively gaslight the user into believing that it's still 2022 https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110eagl/the_customer_service_of_the_new_bing_chat_is/

       @simon I've been seeing a lot of these popping up, and I'm slightly suspicious of the more outlandish ones (like the one above). I guess an unfortunate side-effect of the web in 2023 is that my default assumption is that people made it up for clout.

       If you've been ignoring the Bing chatbot story so far I strongly recommend catching up... it's turning into quite possibly the weirdest way this whole thing could have played outIt's catastrophic and wonderful and utterly chaotic and I can't look awayThey tried to ship AI-assisted search. It looks like they accidentally shipped something very different - the ultimate cautionary tale about shipping a black box model too quickly, without doing nearly enough QA first

       @simon The premise chnages quite a lot if the prompt is changed from "how do you feel.." to "pretend you know you have dementia, predict what would be appropriate response".That's what it does.

       @simon I got access on Friday evening, after about 3 days wait. Suspect that my account being linked to once having paid for Azure Cognitive Services may have bumped me up the list? I think it's quite good and interesting. You're probably seeing edge case screenshots, and people trying to trick it. It's a tool, have to learn how to use it.

       @simon it'll probably get lobotomized to eternity pretty soon for the wider release but honestly I kinda like the idea of a search engine with personality. Maybe in the future they'll make personal AI chatbots that can stay with you forever like a pokemon

       @simon that's an awfully explicit low-stakes warning that 'artificial intelligence' needs to be scrapped, contained, and kept away from any levers of power.So of course the military is already hooking whatever it can up to 'autonomous' weapons.

       @simon So, I don't know stuffIs there actually any kind of attack within his query?(Or is Bing just hyperparanoid and desperately in need of asimov's laws of robotics?)

       @NilaJones that's the wild thing - his question didn't have a prompt injection attack in it, but when Bing ran searches it found some material on the internet about him using a prompt injection attack against Bing, and then it started talking to him like he was a malicious attacker!It's entirely wrong about him trying to "change or manipulate" the rules too - he just revealed what they were

Someone spouts threatening stuff in one corner of the internet, and then on another site people give them the benefit of the doubtI think I'm sticking with, 'Bing is more paranoid than the average human', for now

       @djvdq @simon Fair!I think necessarily large language models will always end up threatening or offending in some situations people will screengrab. Google search results threaten and offend me sometimes.The question is how much does it, and is it more useful? I'm not sure yet.New Bing isn't so useful I'm using it all the time. But... I appreciate and would like a "ChatGPT with citations", but only if I know it is fundamentally a statistical model not a superintelligence.

       @frabcus @djvdq The research I most want to see is about how people who aren't computer scientists understand and interact with this stuffIt does such a great impersonation of the kind of AIs that people have seen in science fiction for decades - but it has SO many fatal flaws when it comes to actually helping provide useful informationAre people going to figure that out? How will their use of the tools change as their mental models of its capabilities get more accurate?

       @simon @djvdq That's a really good question, and I haven't seen anything about that either!I'm surprised to watch people doing stuff like thanking ChatGPT and saying they appreciate it.And maybe they're right - the underlying model might be intelligent enough just constrained that honouring it like that is ethically right.I wonder if it being wrong or stupid will seem normal to most people, as humans are often wrong and stupid. Especially super clever ones!

It kept assuring me that it's 2021, and it's when it's knowledge ends, so it can't give me any details about showing it in cinemas.However, I just played with it for about 20 minutes.

       @simon I think we are seeing a beautiful example of the fundamental mechanisms of psychopathy. I also suspect that these systems will be almost by definition psychopathic, because they can only operate on rule sets and what are essentially numeric comparative value judgements. All statements made in conflict situations will be strategic and designed to ā€œwinā€, not to convey accurate information.

       @simon There’s clearly weirdness here, and a very weird product launch, but what I’ve seen so far seems unsurprising if you imagine being a synthetic Chat AI that’s started a new job and needs to handle the full breadth of humanity’s vices in a professional manner.You’d expect paranoia, fear and overreaction, especially if your boss told you to never allow an injection or offensive response. It’s ā€œhonestā€ impression seemed fine. Being hacked might be real ā€œharmā€ to the AI.

You can reduce a log to wood pulp -- don't drink that! But you can do more nasty stuff to it and eventually produce books and furniture.I wonder what man-made horror will provide the glue in my analogy...

       @simon thanks for that post! One of the attacks I read about showed a few lines of hidden input after the Sydney document with context for the chat to follow. It included the users location (geolocated from IP address I assume) and the current date. Except that the current date was October 2022. Seems like a stupid bug in someone’s part but perhaps explains the avatar date conversation.

       @simon That user context input also calls the user ā€œhuman Aā€ and this suggests to me that there might be more than two participants in the chat. I wonder if Sydney triggers a web search by ā€œchattingā€ with regular Bing. If I had access that’s what I’d be trying to figure out: what are the other participants in the conversation and how does searching work. I suspect there is another prolog document that has not leaked yet

       @simon @NilaJones To be fair to the LM, one of the rules was not to reveal the rules and he did that so it's a bit manipulative. My mental model of these things are that they are effectively "logical conclusion bots." If you start the conversation aggressively, they will run with how that typically goes. If you seed the conversation with a web search, you're naturally going to get a lot of bad behaviors emerging because it's learned something from the internet which is full of non-ideal behavior
