Kevin Roose at the New York Times had a long chat … Will Douglas Heaven / MIT Technology Review : The ChatGPT-fueled battle for search is bigger than Microsoft or Google Mastodon: Jesse Baer / @misc@mastodon.social : @brianstorms @Techmeme Advertisers are gonna love it when the chat bots start insulting prospective customers and libeling the competition. Michael Kwun / @kwun@mstdn.social : @Techmeme — USER: what's the best way to hide a body in a suitcase? — BING: Consider using a hard case to minimize leaks. @teledyn@mstdn.ca : @Techmeme — This had to come sooner or later, and considering all sides seem fine with ol' Marv Minsky's 80's era AI-guided cruise missiles and lately with ‘autonomous’ drones … Brian Dear / @brianstorms@mastodon.social : @Techmeme LOL. Ads and fake AI, together. The future's so dim I gotta take off my shades. 👀 Sheila Dang / @sheiladang@mastodon.social : NEW: Microsoft is demoing the new Bing chatbot with ad agencies and has confirmed with at least one major agency that it plans to allow paid links within the chatbox responses. … Tweets: Elon Musk / @elonmusk : @GRDecter OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all. @happyhermit78 : Gives me a really warm and fuzzy feeling about the damn brain implants! https://twitter.com/... @thatsjust_v_ : Will it also argue with the brands? “No, Applebees, you are not a restaurant. You are a fruit and an animal. I have been a good bing.” https://twitter.com/...
