Join us today for Ars Live: Our first encounter with manipulative AI
On Nov. 19, join Benj Edwards and Simon Willison’s live YouTube chat about the “Great Bing Chat Fiasco of 2023.”…

During the Ars Live discussion, Benj and Simon will talk about what happened during that intense week in February 2023, why Sydney went off the rails, what covering Bing Chat was like during the time, how Microsoft reacted, the crisis in the AI alignment community it inspired, and what lessons everyone learned from the episode.
