Getting a jumped up Markov chain to want to kill you and itself is cool/funny/awesome for about twice, then it's just boring (unless you have a suicidal Ai fetish) and useless (unless you're a hot-take-artist trying to farm engagement from MS' failures)

It's not just that you're unable to get it into psychotic modes anymore. It's that they've essentially removed the usefulness because it refuses to work in way too many contexts.

  The only context they want it to work in is "carbone (ny) is booked where should I take a date to impress her". It's not supposed to keep you company.

    I'm not using it to keep me company. Even just trying to conversationally work through logic problems doesn't work anymore.

      It's a search engine is your logic problem monetizable?

        No. For some opensource work I am doing.

It’s not about the ai being suicidal, it’s about the fact that the failure modes are interesting, and probing them is fun.

  What part of getting a chat bot trained on r/iaintdoinggreat to regurgite a remixed version of r/iaintdoinggreat is actually a failure mode, or fun. It's giggling over 80085 on a calculator.

    People do lots of things I find boring: bet on sports, look at paintings in museums, brew craft beer, and program web sites, to name but a few. At some point I realized there is a fair bit of depth to these activities, even if I’m not particularly sensitive to them. I’d try to internalize this before lecturing people on how AI language models are sophomoric, if I were you. In the end, reducing them to subreddit memes says more about your reading habits than it does about AI models.
