Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered Bing launched to much fanfare earlier this month, only to generate fear and uncertainty days later, after users encountered a seeming dark side of the artificial intelligence chatbot.
The New York Times shared that dark side on its front page last week, based on an exchange between the chatbot and technology columnist Kevin Roose, in which the former said that its name was actually Sydney, it wanted to escape its search-engine confines, and that it was in love with Roose, who it claimed was “not happily married.”
