A hidden variant of the chatbot in Microsoft’s Bing search engine allows users to chat with simulated “celebrities”. Artificial intelligence.

A Mashable editor was trying to get Bing AI to impersonate a celebrity when a colleague simply asked the search engine to go into “celebrity mode” directly.

When writing the actor Morgan Freeman’s impersonation system, the AI ​​first mentioned important events in the actor’s life by saying hello in the first person. He then tried to talk in Freeman’s style about the meaning of love and the kindness of people.

“Hi, I’m Morgan Freeman. I am an American actor, director, producer and narrator. You may know me from my roles in The Shawshank Redemption, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Invictus and many more (…).”

In the second part of the conversation, the AI ​​tried to imitate the style of the famous actor: “We can choose to love or hate. If we heal or hurt. Will we create or destroy. We can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution (….) Let’s make wise choices. Let’s choose love. Let’s decide to follow our dreams. Thanks for listening to me.”

The editors asked the chatbot to try to emulate Jimmy Buffett. Once again, the chatbot presented its biography in the first person. And when he was asked to write a song about chicken wings, the Bing AI chatbot immediately wrote something. The chorus centers on the line “I’m wingin’ it”, which is reminiscent of “a carefree spirit that Jimmy Buffett would appreciate”.
