This is undeniably cool and impressive, but, I think proceeding down this research path, at this pace, is quite irresponsible. The primary effect of OpenAI's work has been to set off an arms race, and the effect of that is that humanity no longer has the ability to make decisions about how fast and how far to go with AGI development. Obviously this isn't a system that's going to recursively self-improve and wipe out…

This is far from being AGI.

I think we all here at HN will inevitably underestimate the impact of putting GPT into Bing. We may have been playing with GPT for years, but it has just been gift-wrapped and delivered to hundreds of millions in their default Windows browser. I’m expecting it to blow grandma’s mind.

Nah, the average person doesn't have the context to understand that something impressive is happening at all.

I don't think it has to be able to do that, humanity seems to be capable of achieving this very thing by itself, with or without AI.

Disclaimer - I work at Microsoft They put a lot of work into the research to make this safe already - they had the model red team itself, in a reinforcement learning environment probably. It won't be perfect, but at this point, they need a huge user base to adversarial test it any further. Otherwise no progress at all would be made. edit - I should say I have no internal knowledge about this.

Safety is a subjective quality. What are the downside of "put"[ing] a lot of work into the research to make this safe already "?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I get redirected to regular bing when I visit, with an apparent error code in the URL. Is this not fully rolled out?

Not sure, works for me, but I visit with Edge. Maybe that's the issue?

I get the same redirect on a windows box from both Firefox and Edge.

I just tried to use this feature on Bing. The first link prominently at the top with a text blurb was something called "answer-all.com" ... It indeed had a good answer to my question, but when I clicked the link it looked like a scam site that asks me to "upgrade Adobe Flash" ... I'm really confused by the whole experience.

Yes, but isn't that pretty much true for everything. We as a species, and as individuals, aren't really built for the long game. From work to home to hobbies, it's generally not well received when someone says "this looks really useful, but let's slow down in case there are unintended consequences."

We see this with security as an afterthought, privacy as an afterthought, performance as an afterthoughts, sustainability as an afterthought. I'm a little bit encouraged by the fact that the lag time from innovation to responsibility seems to be closing, at least.

AGI is still SF.
