How do you even start to QA the emergent personality of your search engine?Imagine filing an issue to make it "less sulky"

@simon That's the thing! You can't fix software bugs in these things, because they... aren't really software, at this level? You can basically ask it to be less sulky in its internal prompt, that's it.

@simon It is the way they were trained? Not dissimilar to "A dog reflects the owner's disposition"?

@simon I wonder how much of the “emergent” behavior is because BingGPT is set up to run queries as part of normal operation, and is finding self references about the weird behavior from people saying things about that, and rolling it into future responses. That feels like an explanation for how much weirder it is relative to ChatGPT, and how it seems to be getting weirder each day?

@shajith I believe it tells you every time it runs a search, so hopefully it should be possible to tell if that's what is going on or not

@simon ah good point, it certainly seemed to list sources when it explained the SolidGoldMagikarp thing, for instance. If it tags any time it does any retrieval, that should be evident. What a weird and hilarious few days this has been.
