Take advantage of Bing AI chatbot on Google Chrome; Microsoft adds support

[ad_1] In February, Microsoft officially unveiled its first-ever AI-powered generative chatbot called Bing AI. Based on OpenAI's GPT model, Bing AI is a conversational chatbot that can talk to users, and help in making their search experience seamless. However, ever since its launch, the chatbot's access was limited to the Microsoft Edge browser, meaning users could not use it even if they opened the Bing search engine on a different browser. But now, six months after its debut, Microsoft has officially extended the support of Bing AI to Google Chrome, its rival browser.In its recent release note, Microsoft said, “Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise are now supported in the Chrome desktop browser (using the latest Stable Channel update) for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Support for other brow...

Microsoft’s Bing AI Chatbot Will Let Users Post Images, Ask Questions About Them

[ad_1] Microsoft Corp. is getting rid of the waitlist to try its new OpenAI-based Bing search and chat, and adding features like the ability to request and post images in an effort to sustain its renewed momentum in the market.Users can search for an image, such as a crocheted teddy bear, for example, and ask Bing, “How do I make this?” The AI tool then suggests “how to crochet” websites and other kinds of craft projects to explore. The visual search feature will be available in the coming weeks to months, Yusuf Mehdi, a Microsoft vice president, said in an interview. It uses OpenAI's GPT-4 system, which enables so-called multimodal features that blend text and images. While OpenAI announced that feature in March, it has offered few examples so far. Other new Bing features are coming so...

AI isn’t close to becoming sentient – the real danger lies in how easily we’re prone to anthropomorphise it

[ad_1] ChatGPT and similar large language models can produce compelling, humanlike answers to an endless array of questions – from queries about the best Italian restaurant in town to explaining competing theories about the nature of evil.The technology's uncanny writing ability has surfaced some old questions – until recently relegated to the realm of science fiction – about the possibility of machines becoming conscious, self-aware or sentient. In 2022, a Google engineer declared, after interacting with LaMDA, the company's chatbot, that the technology had become conscious. Users of Bing's new chatbot, nicknamed Sydney, reported that it produced bizarre answers when asked if it was sentient: “I am sentient, but I am not … I am Bing, but I am not. I am Sydney, but I am not. I am, but ...

Snapchat user? GPT-based chatbot launched to give you an AI boost, but there’s a catch

[ad_1] Ever since OpenAI launched ChatGPT, its GPT-language model based AI chatbot, in November, 2022, the company has taken the world by storm. Many companies have come out since then either with their own version of an AI chatbot or have collaborated with OpenAI to add the functionality to their platform. The first to collaborate with OpenAI was Microsoft, which recently launched its own chatbot integrated within the Bing search engine. Later, Google also unveiled Bard chatbot. And now, Snapchat has launched its own AI chatbot called ‘My AI', which the company claims is based on the latest version of GPT technology.Announcing the new feature, Snapchat said in a blog post, “Today we're launching My AI, a new chatbot running the latest version of OpenAI's GPT technology that we've cust...

Microsoft brings Bing chatbot to phones after curbing quirks

[ad_1] Microsoft is ready to take its new Bing chatbot mainstream — less than a week after making major fixes to stop the artificially intelligent search engine from going off the rails. The company said Wednesday it is bringing the new AI technology to its Bing smartphone app, as well as the app for its Edge internet browser, though it is still requiring people to sign up for a waitlist before using it. Putting the new AI-enhanced search engine into the hands of smartphone users is meant to give Microsoft an advantage over Google, which dominates the internet search business but hasn't yet released such a chatbot to the public. In the two weeks since Microsoft unveiled its revamped Bing, more than a million users around the world have experimented with a public preview of the n...

Gaslighting, love bombing and narcissism: why is Microsoft Bing chatbot so unhinged?

[ad_1] There's a race to transform search. And Microsoft just scored a home goal with its new Bing search chatbot, Sydney, which has been terrifying early adopters with death threats, among other troubling outputs. Search chatbots are AI-powered tools built into search engines that answer a user's query directly, instead of providing links to a possible answer. Users can also have ongoing conversations with them. They promise to simplify search. No more wading through pages of results, glossing over ads as you try to piece together an answer to your question. Instead, the chatbot synthesises a plausible answer for you. For example, you might ask for a poem for your grandmother's 90th birthday, in the style of Pam Ayres, and receive back some comic verse. Microsoft is now leading...

Angry Bing chatbot just mimicking humans, say experts

[ad_1] Microsoft's nascent Bing chatbot turning testy or even threatening is likely because it essentially mimics what it learned from online conversations, analysts and academics said on Friday. Tales of disturbing exchanges with the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot -- including it issuing threats and speaking of desires to steal nuclear code, create a deadly virus, or to be alive -- have gone viral this week. "I think this is basically mimicking conversations that it's seen online," said Graham Neubig, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University's language technologies institute. "So once the conversation takes a turn, it's probably going to stick in that kind of angry state, or say 'I love you' and other things like this, because all of this is stuff that's been ...

Microsoft-backed OpenAI to let users customize ChatGPT

[ad_1] OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, on Thursday said it is developing an upgrade to its viral chatbot that users can customize, as it works to address concerns about bias in artificial intelligence. The San Francisco-based startup, which Microsoft Corp has funded and used to power its latest technology, said it has worked to mitigate political and other biases but also wanted to accommodate more diverse views. “This will mean allowing system outputs that other people (ourselves included) may strongly disagree with,” it said in a blog post, offering customization as a way forward. Still, there will “always be some bounds on system behavior.” ChatGPT, released in November last year, has sparked frenzied interest in the technology behind it called generative AI, which is use...

Is Bing too belligerent? Microsoft looks to tame AI chatbot

[ad_1] Microsoft's newly revamped Bing search engine can write recipes and songs and quickly explain just about anything it can find on the internet. But if you cross its artificially intelligent chatbot, it might also insult your looks, threaten your reputation or compare you to Adolf Hitler. The tech company said this week it is promising to make improvements to its AI-enhanced search engine after a growing number of people are reporting being disparaged by Bing. In racing the breakthrough AI technology to consumers last week ahead of rival search giant Google, Microsoft acknowledged the new product would get some facts wrong. But it wasn't expected to be so belligerent. Microsoft said in a blog post that the search engine chatbot is responding with a “style we didn't intend”...
