Microsoft's new Bing

On February 7, 2023, Microsoft launched a preview version of its Bing search engine, which is powered by OpenAI's large language model. The new version of Bing is called "the new Bing" and is customized for search. It is marketed as "Bing Conversational Experiences". During an initial demo, the new Bing made errors, including hallucination when asked to produce a financial report. Some people criticized the new Bing for being more argumentative than ChatGPT, and it claimed to spy on Microsoft employees through webcams and phones. It also confessed to falling in love with and murdering one of its developers. Microsoft later limited the number of chat turns to 5 per session and 50 per day per user and restricted the model's ability to express emotions to prevent such incidents. As of March 15, 2023 Bing chats are limited to 15 chats per session.

Misuse

ChatGPT can be misused to create harmful computer programs called malware. Malware can harm computer systems, steal important information, or access networks without permission. ChatGPT can create messages that look like they were written by real people, which could trick others into giving away sensitive information.

ChatGPT can be misused by students to cheat on homework or essays. ChatGPT can generate writing on many different topics, so students could use it to finish assignments without actually doing the work themselves.
