Bing Chat

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends I’ve seen my fair share of unhinged AI responses — not the least of which was when Bing Chat told me it wanted to be human last year — but ChatGPT has stayed mostly sane since it was first introduced. That’s changing, as users are flooding social media with unhinged, nonsensical responses coming from the chatbot. In a lot of reports, ChatGPT simply spits out gibberish. For example, u/Bullroarer_Took took to the ChatGPT subreddit to showcase a response in which a series of jargon and…

Digital Trends Sending images as prompts to ChatGPT is still a fairly new feature, but in my own testing, it works fine most of the time. However, someone’s just found an image that ChatGPT can’t seem to handle, and it’s definitely not what you expect. The image, spotted by brandon_xyzw on X (formerly Twitter), presents some digital noise. It’s nothing special, really — just a black background with some vertical lines all over it. But if you try to show it to ChatGPT, the image breaks the chatbot each and every time,…

Microsoft's AI chatbot Bing Chat, recently rebranded as Copilot, made up false scandals about real politicians and invents polling numbers, human rights organisation AlgorithmWatch has revealed.

Not only did ChatGPT reach new highs (and lows), but a plethora of seismic changes shook the world, from incredible rival products to shocking scandals and everything in between. As the year draws to a close, we’ve taken a look back at the nine most important events in AI that took place over the last 12 months.

What a year it has been for artificial intelligence! The spark created by OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022 transformed into a blazing fire as a number of tech firms started an AI race to launch their own chatbots. Google, Microsoft, Snap, Meta, and a number of new-age startups brought out their own large language models (LLMs) and in turn, generative AI chatbots. We saw the ChatGPT 3.5 version get its knowledge base upgraded to 2022, while chatbots like Google Bard and Bing AI operate with real-time knowledge of the internet.…

It wasn’t long before the aging tech behemoth launched its own AI-powered tools in the form of a new chat feature on its unloved search engine Bing.Bing Chat (launched renamed Microsoft co-pilot) launched in February 2023. In its first few days on the market, it went completely off the rails. Bing told users it was alive, shared its plans for world domination, used racial slurs, and tried to convince a…

ChatGPT — the popular chatbot from OpenAI — was launched by the company in preview form a year ago and has grown in complexity and capabilities since its initial release. The company has since launched a premium subscription service that allows paying users to access a more powerful version of the chatbot along with early access to upcoming features and reduced downtime. OpenAI's technology is also used to power Microsoft's Bing Chat, and the company's own chatbot has been updated with support for plugins, while the…
