I’m just glad to be old and almost gone.

Almost a full minute and a half before the guest was allowed to start speaking, then the guest was allowed to speak for less than a minute before being redirected to explain base level information about AI chat bots in general, before being allowed to speak about the title subject of the video

Even a 4 minute and 30 second video was twice as long as it needed to be

A 4 minute and 30 second piece just by the guest would have been more helpful

A more realistic conversation. What's your deepest, darkest secret? You mean right now? Yeah. I really want a cookie.

What Kevin? Didn’t realize it had freak mode? 😊 so …
He goes on a media blitz trashing Sydney, when he was the one wanting to get weird with the chat bot and he’s a married man. 😊❤

So.... It's acting just like a human then? WTF you think it was gonna do?? For better or worse, if you put substantial, serious financially backed research into synthesizing human life, is it not on track with what their ultimate goal was in a way?

I've experimented a number of times with the Bing chat box and I must say I'm not very impressed. It gives you boilerplate answers which often are self-contradictory. When you point this out to the chat box it simply says it doesn't want to discuss this anymore or disconnects
