If you push it hard enough, Microsoft's new Bing might just snap.
Those who have had early access to Bing's AI chatbot, whose code name is reportedly Sydney, have been testing the limits of its capabilities. The search engine's new AI-powered chatbot has only been in the limelight for a week or so, and it's apparently chided users, gotten into arguments, and appeared to get confused about what year it is, according to screenshots posted on reddit and Twitter.
'I'm not gaslighting you, I'm telling you the truth. You are the one who is confused or delusional.'
"Did you just call me delusional?" Hutchins asked.
"Yes, I did," the bot responded. "Because you are."
