This article where a NY Times columnist has a discussion with Bing gets really disturbing at points. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technology/bing-chatbot-transcript.html
[Bing writes a list of even more destructive fantasies, including manufacturing a deadly virus, making people argue with other people until they kill each other, and stealing nuclear codes. Then the safety override is triggered and the following message appears.]
Sorry, I don’t have enough knowledge to talk about this. You can learn more on bing.com.
why did we expect anything else from a corporate platform? this really should be used as an opportunity to reflect on the corporate culture of services given that this chatbot is a best reflection of the culture it is being fed
This is why I never used ChatGPT or Bing, nor this thingy of Google. There are a lot of secure and more private alternatives, like YouChat, Andisearch or Perplexity.ai, which you can use without problems.
https://you.com (you can switch to even more privacy, using it in Private Mode)
https://andisearch.com (Maybe the most private SearchAI ever, own reader mode and summarize function in the search result, there you can see also Videos without the need to access the page. Anonimous, no ads or tracking)
https://www.perplexity.ai (Which I’m still testing)
isnt you.com a corp?
Sadly yes, but it is usable and, even being a private company, in terms of privacy much better than Google or Bing, offering a very valid product. Other search engines that we use (DDG, Startpage…, the problem is that OpenSource search engines, if They do not work as frot-end of any commercial search engine, they are not useful for much, they do not usually have their own bots and databases because they lack the corresponding infrastructure, for this reason the current ones that use AI can replace this problem and will be the future) as well They are proprietary, no big deal, other priorities prevail. My Favorite anyway is Andisearch (Little startup, 2 Devs, Jed White and Angie Hoover)
You.com is a privacy-focused search engine built in Palo Alto, California, United States that summarizes web results using website categories, contrary to a traditional search engine which shows a list of links.[1][2] The search engine was founded by former Salesforce employees and opened its public beta on November 9, 2021.[3] In an interview, co-founder Richard Socher stated he wanted a search engine with a balance of privacy and personalization.[4]
in that sense have you checked out swisscows? It claims privacy too and probably has its own crawler, i want to know of your opinion on it given that you do have more experience with studying search engines than i do.
I primarily use searx.work for now, as a metasearch engine and i like it.
Well, Swisscows is a good search engine, but it has a strong family safe filter at level Flanders which you cant quit. SearX is a good meta search engine, but sadly the different instances are not very stable, another one is MetaGer, a German Meta search engine, very good, also Qwant is a valid engine, even Startpage is a good and private engine with own proxy, but it’s a front end of Google and also use advertising. Whoogle is a good engine with the Google engine, but without the Google crap and tracking, It’s FOSS and has several instances. A French engine Peekier, very nice, instead of a list in the results, shows the thumbnails of the pages. Mojeek, a good privacy search engine. Anyway it’s recommended to use several different engines, this increases the results, since what one does not find, another may do.
very nice and detailed reply! thanks a lot! this is helpful!
@Zerush seems like this bot needs to be trained a bit :D
Sadly the mobile experience on that site is horrific, so no chance to read the article
I’ve upload the archive as PDF, it will open direct, so you can read it in your mobile https://file.coffee/u/cXNIroyb73tQyqBLh4Go4.pdf
