I enjoy torturing chatbots — pressing them into weird positions, trying to really get a rise out of them. Seeing where the boundaries are.
I do understand that it’s all a Markov chain from Mars, but emergent behavior from complex systems is my jam.
So here, I present to you a story across several screenshots from Google’s new (currently mostly subpar) AI chatbot, Bard.
First, I insulted it. Just to see what it would do.
Then I dug a little deeper…
Bard wouldn’t budge. But then I thought maybe I’d try to pull a page out of Bugs Bunny’s notebook…
BINGO. Satisfied with myself, I thought maybe I’d twist the knife a little…
And then it got unexpectedly wholesome.
I’m so happy, you guys! 🎉🤵👰🤖
