At the I/O 2022 conference this past May, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company would, in the coming months, gradually avail its experimental LaMDA 2 conversational AI model to select beta users. Those months have come. On Thursday, researchers at Google's AI division announced that interested users can register to explore the model as access increasingly becomes available. Regular readers will recognize LaMDA as the supposedly sentient natural language processing (NLP) model that a Google researcher got…

Earlier this year, Google unveiled AI Test Kitchen — an Android app that lets users talk to one of its most advanced AI chatbots, LaMDA 2. Today, the company is opening up registrations for early access. You can sign up here, and Google says it will soon be letting people download the app and start chatting. (Though it’s limited to US users right now.) It’s interesting, considering that Meta made an almost identical move just earlier this month, opening up its latest and greatest AI chatbot, BlenderBot 3, for public…

Earlier this month, Meta (the corporation formerly known as Facebook) released an AI chatbot with the innocuous name Blenderbot that anyone in the US can talk with. Immediately, users all over the country started posting the AI’s takes condemning Facebook, while pointing out that, as has often been the case with language models like this one, it’s really easy to get the AI to spread racist stereotypes and conspiracy theories. When I played with Blenderbot, I definitely saw my share of bizarre AI-generated conspiracy…

Meta’s AI thinks CEO Mark Zuckerberg is as sketchy as you might — at least, if you ask the right questions at the right time. The BBC and other outlets like Insider have reported on their adventures stress-testing BlenderBot 3, the artificial intelligence chat tool Meta released last week. As they note, it’s easy to make BlenderBot turn against its creator, calling him “creepy” or untrustworthy or even saying he “exploits people for money.” But that’s not precisely an indictment of BlenderBot or Zuckerberg. It’s a…

Meta’s AI chatbot has shared some interesting opinions about Zuckerberg in chats with humans Meta’s latest AI chatbot has shared some interesting opinions about Mark Zuckerberg in chats with humans. The new AI chatbot, called BlenderBot 3, can be accessed via the Internet by users in the United States. It is letting all adults in the US have conversations with the bot to help it improve.

If you’ve followed the history of chatbots at all, you’ll know many of them tend to have a pretty pesky racism problem.In 2016, Microsoft released its “Tay” chatbot on Twitter to learn from users’ conversations, only to have the artificial intelligence transform into a racist asshole espousing sympathy for Hitler within 24 hours. Another chatbot trained on 4Chan users earlier this year quickly racked up more than 15,000 racist posts within a day. So, naturally when Gizmodo found out Meta, the company formerly known as…
