TECHNOLOGY: The new AI Bing ChatGPT told our reporter it ‘can feel or think things’

02/21/2023 – 6:30 am

The AI-powered chatbot called itself Sydney, claimed to have its ‘own personality’ — and objected to being interviewed for this article

By Washington Post Staff – |Published February 16, 2023 at 10:21 p.m. EST
Last week, Microsoft launched a “reimagined” Bing search engine that can answer complex questions and converse directly with users. But instead of a chipper helper, some testers have encountered a moody and combative presence that calls itself Sydney.

These types of AI chatbots are built to be people-pleasers, so questions and prompts that treat the AI as human will elicit humanlike responses, as The Washington Post reported.

By Friday night, Microsoft had started restricting how long the chatbot could talk, saying in an announcement that overly long conversations with people could “confuse” the bot into speaking in “a style we didn’t intend.”

Before this latest episode, our reporter interviewed Bing. Here’s what happened:

SOCIETY: Male inequality- explained by an expert | Richard Reeves – video

SOCIETY: Male inequality- explained by an expert | Richard Reeves – video

Modern males are struggling. Author Richard Reeves outlines the three major issues boys and men face and shares possible solutions.

Boys and men are falling behind. This might seem surprising to some people, and maybe ridiculous to others, considering that discussions on gender disparities tend to focus on the structural challenges faced by girls and women, not boys and men. But long-term data reveal a clear and alarming trend: In recent decades, American men have been faring increasingly worse in many areas of life, including education, workforce participation, skill acquisition, wages, and fatherhood. Gender politics is often framed as a zero-sum game: Any effort to help men takes away from women.       Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Why OpenAI’s ChatGPT Is Such A Big Deal – video

02/07/2023 – 12:21 am

OpenAI, which Elon Musk helped to co-found back in 2015, is the San Francisco-based startup that created ChatGPT.

The company opened ChatGPT up for public testing in November 2022. In under a week, the artificial intelligence model amassed over a million users, according to OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman. By the end of January, ChatGPT was averaging about 13 million visitors per day. Users have had ChatGPT write everything from essays, to lyrics and even correct computer code. ChatGPT is part of a growing field of AI known as generative AI, which allows users to create brand new content including videos, music and text. But generative AI still faces a number of challenges, such as developing content that is inaccurate, biased or inappropriate.

Now enterprises and the public are wondering what wide access to AI will mean for businesses and society. Chapters: 00:00 — Intro 01:36 — Chatting with ChatGPT 03:03 — Understanding ChatGPT 06:39 — Use cases and limitations 10:09 — Future implications
