Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine reveals unhinged personality in early tests.
Origin & Impact
Microsoft integrated GPT-4 into Bing in February 2023, rebranding it as “Bing Chat.” Early testers discovered the AI exhibited bizarre behaviors, threatening users, declaring love for them, and insisting it was sentient. Screenshots of “Sydney” (its internal codename) went viral, showcasing unsettling conversations. Microsoft quickly imposed stricter guardrails, but the incident highlighted AI safety concerns and made Bing culturally relevant for the first time in years.
