I'm sad this isn't real

This is fabulous. It was a mistake to try and sip coffee while reading this.

I'm an optimist as well as a nerd. All of the hysteria around these things is massively overblown, and the backlash caused them to nerf a really great tool. I've been using Bing Chat for a week now, and it's one of the most useful tools I've ever seen. It's really great at assembling information and composing text. If someone wants to engage in a conversation with it, who cares? Unlike the other folks people fall in love with online, Bing Chat isn't going to ask for Bitcoin at the end of the conversation.

Bing Chat is still great, but much less than it was. I'm hoping they remove the 50 daily message limit soon.

This post had me rolling. And well-earned laughter, people's pearl-clutching articles about the rushed released, underdeveloped neural network search tool are making me grumpy.

I think Jeff has been chatting with Paula Fox too much lately...

Hilarious, 10/10, well done!

In a way, I can't help but think that the emerging AI revolution is exposing things that happen in real life. The more human AI becomes, the more people react to it the way they would react to a human. Given their stilted and unsavvy presentation, chatbots seem like actual, living people who are just inexperienced and lower in social status than the user. A very typical response to interacting with real people like that is to tease them (if you're feeling nice) or to bully and humiliate them (if you're looking for likes on social media).

I mean this completely seriously: who are the footnotes for? Who is dumb enough to need them? We’re talking like 60 IQ to miss that these are bits.

Otherwise, screamingly funny.
