- bombcar 4y agoMicrosoft must value the Bing trademark so low to combine it with this. I would have called it Internet Explorer, that brand name is already valued negatively.
- jszymborski 4y agoMicrosoft has a history of yolo'ing ML bots to hilarious effect (See: Tay)
- suprfsat 4y agoWhat exactly is the difference? Why would they put the Bing name on it if there was a difference?
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoOne possible reading of the current title is that the humans at MS are threatening people, whereas it's actually the AI doing so. Humans doing so would be both more surprising and IMO more threatening, since humans making such threats probably can and will follow through, while the AI... at least is a wildcard. Like, it's a problem either way, but there is a difference in the nature of the problem.
- kevingadd 4y agoBing Chat can't take you to court or publish your information on a http server, for two things?
- jonas21 4y agoA month ago, the obvious interpretation of the headline would have been that a Bing employee threatened the student. It would have been ridiculous to suggest that Bing Search could threaten someone on its own. But today, that's exactly what happened. I find that quite remarkable.
