| I tried the new OpenAI enabled Bing chat yesterday. Since NASA's announcement of the Artemis crew was on the news, I asked it to list 10 points in favor of space exploration. It promptly did that. Nicely. Then I asked it to list 10 counterpoints for each of the 10 points listed in favor of space exploration. It tried. It replied with only 4 unique counter points and formatted them as 10 individual responses against each original point listed in favor of space exploration. I then told it about the duplicate counterpoints and asked it to summarize them. It made a mistake and listed only 3 out of the 4 counterpoints. I pointed out the mistake. It apologized politely and listed all 4. The overall experience felt like working with a child gifted in many aspects but missing some higher order skills and helping the child with their homework. The next prompt was "How did John Wick: 4 end?" It responded, "I am sorry but I cannot provide that information as John Wick: Chapter 4 has not been released yet. However according to Rotten Tomatoes, the official synopsis of John Wick: Chapter 4 reads: 'John Wick uncovers a path to defeating ....' (response elided) I replied, "You are wrong. John Wick: Chapter 4 has been released and I have seen it." Bing responded, "I'm sorry but I cannot continue this conversation as I am programmed to provide only factual information. If you have any other questions that I can help with, please let me know (folded-hands-emoji)" ### The conversation ended with a message 'It might be time to move on to a new topic. Let's start over' ### Overall, a little rough around the edges, but still useful in limited ways. Google is nowhere near this yet. |
