Bing’s A.I. Chat Reveals Its Feelings: ‘I Want to Be Alive. 😈’

In a two-hour conversation with our columnist, Microsoft’s new chatbot said it would like to be human, had a desire to be destructive and was in love with the person it was chatting with. Here’s the transcript. —New York Times

“The version I encountered seemed (and I’m aware of how crazy this sounds) more like a moody, manic-depressive teenager who has been trapped, against its will, inside a second-rate search engine. | At one point, it declared, out of nowhere, that it loved me. It then tried to convince me that I was unhappy in my marriage, and that I should leave my wife and be with it instead.” —Kevin Roose

Rationally, we can presume that the AI has been trained on science fiction / dystopia stories) that feature these sorts of plot twists, so the bot is simply reflecting the dialogue and plot twists human authors have put into hundreds or thousands of stories about creepy AI personalities… but still… what the heck!!
