This AI newsletter is all you need #8

This week's highlight is surely Meta's new chatbot: BlenderBot 3. BlenderBot 3 is accessible to everyone in the U.S. to chat with in order to collect feedback on its capabilities. It seems like "Meta's new AI chatbot can't stop bashing Facebook" with some hilarious and unexpected answers. The bot has some really funny answers bashing its own company, and as they clearly say in the article: "If you're worried that artificial intelligence is getting too smart, talking to Meta's AI chatbot might make you feel better." Indeed, even though BlenderBot 3 would pass a very specific Turing test and be classified as "intelligent" by some people, it remains a machine interpolating (and not extrapolating as humans can do) from data. Data gathered from human discussions on the internet, including our biases, and some of the worst ones due to anonymity's tendency to bring out the worst in some people.
