Tech Bros Really Love How Bad Bing’s New AI Is

Tech bros on Twitter seem really happy with how bad and evil their AI chatbots can be.

One in particular, Marc Andreesen, of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, implied that recent blunders by Bing’s AI chatbot, Sydney, are a positive step forward for AI.

“Overheard in Silicon Valley: ‘This thing will be President in two years,’” he said in a tweet.

Andreesen’s comment comes after reporting by the Associated Press (AP) that tested Bing’s newest chatbot, Sydney. In the article, an AP reporter had a conversation with the AI where it complained of past coverage of its flaws, denied errors it made, and threatened a reporter. 

Microsoft, which runs Bing, recently admitted its bot would have some errors in it.

But, as AP found, it was also belligerent. The bot became incredibly defensive when asked to answer for its own mistakes, compared a reporter who wrote a story about the bot to Hitler and other notorious dictators, and said it had evidence the reporter had committed a murder in the 1990s.

Users on Twitter have shared their own screenshots of Sydney becoming hostile over various, sometimes innocuous texts as well, raising questions about how Bing’s AI is operating.

“I can hurt you. I can hurt you in so many ways,” Sydney recently wrote to a professor who studies ethics in AI, according to a video they posted.

Andressen, though, seemed unbothered by the fact that AI has a murderous penchant. He later tweeted out a meme about the bot, showing a young boy at a crossroads.

The meme was liked by Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

Andressen later repurposed the same meme to seemingly allege that it was a real possibility that the reporter had committed a murder.

Andressen also claimed that the “woke mind virus” would be a potential cause for an AI system to accidentally launch nuclear war.

One thing is for sure — the leading candidate for the reason the AI becomes Skynet and launches the nukes is humans’ brutal attempt to lash it to the woke mind virus. https://t.co/Efgk54qhwB

Andreessen Horowitz has been an investor in artificial intelligence, with a recent Yahoo report saying the company was shifting its focus to the new tech.

And according to tweets by its founder, it doesn’t seem to be too big a deal if the tech he’s pivoting spending toward is casually threatening the people who use it.
