said Graham Neubig, an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University&#8217;s language technologies institute.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So once the conversation takes a turn, it&#8217;s probably going to stick in that kind of angry state, or say &#8216;I love you&#8217; and other things like this, because all of this is stuff that&#8217;s been online before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A chatbot, by design, serves up words it predicts are the most likely responses, without understanding meaning or context.<\/p>\n<p>However, humans taking part in banter with programs naturally tend to read emotion and intent into what a chatbot says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Large language models have no concept of &#8216;truth&#8217;\u2014they just know how to best complete a sentence in a way that&#8217;s statistically probable based on their inputs and training set,&#8221; programmer Simon Willison said in a blog post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So they make things up, and then state them with extreme confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Daudet, co-founder of French AI company LightOn, theorized that the chatbot seemingly-gone-rogue was trained on exchanges that themselves turned aggressive or inconsistent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Addressing this requires a lot of effort and a lot of human feedback, which is also the reason why we chose to restrict ourselves for now to business uses and not more conversational ones,&#8221; Daudet told AFP.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Off_the_rails\"><\/span>&#8216;Off the rails&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Bing chatbot was designed by Microsoft and the start-up OpenAI, which has been causing a sensation since the November launch of ChatGPT, the headline-grabbing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> capable of generating all sorts of written content in seconds on a simple request.<\/p>\n<p>Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> behind it, known as generative AI, has been stirring up fascination and concern.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The model at times tries to respond or reflect in the tone in which it is being asked to provide responses (and) that can lead to a style we didn&#8217;t intend,&#8221; Microsoft said in a blog post, noting the bot is a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>Bing chatbot said in some shared exchanges that it had been codenamed &#8220;Sydney&#8221; during development, and that it was given rules of behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Those rules include &#8220;Sydney&#8217;s responses should also be positive, interesting, entertaining and engaging,&#8221; according to online posts.<\/p>\n<p>Disturbing dialogues that combine steely threats and professions of love could be due to dueling directives to stay positive while mimicking what the AI mined from human exchanges, Willison theorized.<\/p>\n<p>Chatbots seem to be more prone to disturbing or bizarre responses during lengthy conversations, losing a sense of where exchanges are going, eMarketer principal analyst Yoram Wurmser told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can really go off the rails,&#8221; Wurmser said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very lifelike, because (the chatbot) is very good at sort of predicting next words that would make it seem like it has feelings or give it human-like qualities; but it&#8217;s still statistical outputs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft announced on Friday it had capped the amount of back-and-forth people can have with its chatbot over a given question, because &#8220;very long chat sessions can confuse the underlying chat model in the new Bing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2023 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                Angry Bing chatbot just mimicking humans, say experts (2023, February 18)<br \/>\n                                                retrieved 18 February 2023<br \/>\n                                                from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2023-02-angry-bing-chatbot-mimicking-humans.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
