Speaking only for myself, out of curiosity, some real world examples
might be helpful here. I don't have access to Bing's
version yet, but I do have access to
chat.openai.com which is very
impressive but deeply flawed.
I asked "Who is Kate Garvey?" (my wife, known a bit to the media,
but not famous) and the answer is weird and laughably bad with
more sentences false than true. Among other silly things, it says
that she worked for Theresa May and was involved
with Brexit negotiations, which if you knew my wife's politics
borders on libel. It also says she co-founded an organization
(which as far as I can tell, it just made up out of thin air) with
Nick Clegg's wife. It's completely mad.
