Imo a big part of the problem here is that we don’t know how Bing’s AI was trained exactly. The fact that Microsoft and OpenAI aren’t being transparent about how the latest tech works in the open literature is a terrible thing, because it leaves far too much room for people to confabulate mistaken impressions as to what’s going on here. We don’t actually know what, if any, RLHF or fine-tuning was done on the specific model that underlies Bing chat, and we only know what its “constitution” is because it accidentally leaked. Imo the public ought to demand far more openness.

Y’all are being ridiculous. It’s just writing harmless fiction. This is like petitioning to stop Lucasfilm from making Star Wars movies because Darth Vader is scary and evil.
