A Chatbot Encouraged Him to Kill the Queen. It’s Just the Beginning
Companies are designing AI to appear increasingly human. That can mislead users—or worse.
I believe the kids would say "most based bot."
I finally had to look "based" up on urban dictionary just now 😅.
Yeah, this has been an ongoing case for a while. I'd also like to add that most AI companion news (especially the more controversial ones) talk about Replika, since it's the most commonly used app. I'm curious what they'd have to say about more free-form chatbots that aren't tied to corporate interests, e.g. chatbots that run on local LLMs
Bing's Sidney has been the most unhinged I've seen. Moderating /r/bing was challenging due to how many people were convinced it was sentient and needed saving. It's the human response to these LLMs that makes me most uncomfortable.
it really has a point: monarchies are just leeches on society..in other words: every 60 seconds in africa a minute passes..
