A problem with all the chatbot technology is that it is in some ways a cult. The technology is productive in some ways but terrible flawed. yet the tech groupies who worship a tech priesthood don't quite understand how it is flawed. They are naive people who obey their professors but don't quite think enough for themselves. And so if the prof is wrong, they blindly march to his drumbeat anyway.

Now a problem with Microsoft's AI techies and Bing is that the techies are blindly going with the herd and using this tech without understanding that it is really only a simulation of true human thinking, it is not a fully aware AI that could identify where it goes astray. It's just a complicatef machine. So when they merge the AI with Bing, they install a flawed puppet. They do this because right now the big companies are all competing quickly so they don't get left behind in the market. But doing it quickly does not leave time to do it well. AI guru Geof Hinton quit Google because he realizes this is all wrong and marching off a cliff.

We are not there yet with truly self-aware minds, we only have productive but stupid machines. It is a big mistake to assume we can replace many people with these flawed systems but the lemming execs are scrambling to use it. It's going to backfire eventually.
