An artificially intelligent chatbot that's built into a search engine has reportedly started insulting and lying to its users and even questioning its own existence.
Microsoft has high hopes for its newly-revamped Bing search engine following its launch last week. But it appears the rollout of its new ChatGPT-powered AI may have been rushed after it started making factual errors and users began successfully manipulating it, the Independent reports.
Rival search engine Google, meanwhile, has issued a warning over the technology after millions rushed to use it. The tech giant's boss Prabhakar Raghavan cautioned that it would be impossible for humans to fully monitor every possible aspect of its behaviour.
