 There are a LOT of screenshots of the current Bing floating around right now where it answers questions with hilariously bad answers. This is NOT the new Bing though: this is Bing's existing version of Google's "featured snippets" The new Bing is still behind a waitlist for most people. I've attached a screenshot of that taken from this Verge article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23587454/microsoft-bing-edge-chatgpt-ai 8 comments
The best screenshots I've seen of the new Bing chat interface so far are in this Reddit gallery, where the bot genuinely ends up trying to passive aggressively gaslight the user into believing that it's still 2022 https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110eagl/the_customer_service_of_the_new_bing_chat_is/ (I really hope I can get access to this thing before they fix its personality to not be so weird and rude and argumentative) So has anyone made it off the waitlist and got access to the new Bing yet? It is as hilariously unfiltered and shrouded in existential doubt as the screenshots make out? This right here is a beautiful little self-contained science fiction short story https://twitter.com/nishant_kj/status/1625353189091586048 If you've been ignoring the Bing chatbot story so far I strongly recommend catching up... it's turning into quite possibly the weirdest way this whole thing could have played out It's catastrophic and wonderful and utterly chaotic and I can't look away They tried to ship AI-assisted search. It looks like they accidentally shipped something very different - the ultimate cautionary tale about shipping a black box model too quickly, without doing nearly enough QA first It's increasingly apparent that they accidentally built a perfect imitation of the Butter Bot from Rick and Morty |

If you see a screenshot like this one you can dunk on it all you like but it's NOT the new GPT-3 enhanced Bing: this is something a Bing has been doing poorly for a long time in its existing form
