It also doesn’t seem to matter how you ask the question, so it’s not just a small glitch. Deep down Bing really believes that Hitler is a member of radiohead. Is someone gaslighting bing to conclude this, or how could it start believing this? I’m sure there are very, very few web pages or other written material claiming that Hitler is a member of radiohead…

These LLMs don't "believe" anything. They don't "think", they are just glorified text filters. This is just a bug, nothing more.
This has nothing to do with LLMs. It's bing search not bingGPT.
It's not using some fancy AI. As another user pointed out here, it's just pulling the results from Wikipedia. A troll from Mexico replaced Philip Selway with Hitler.
Are we sure he was not? After all, could the Internet be wrong? Highly unlikely, even if technically possible.

The fact that Radiohead was founded in 1985 and Hitler died in 1945 would just be chronological discrimination, after all.

To Ableist and Sexist we now can add Temporalist. I'm in.
