The Current State of “AI” – June 2023

Philip HarrisAI, Artificial Intelligence

A Bing AI search query asking how many Ns there are in mayonnaise. Bing's claims there are 4.

The big tech companies continue to try to ram “AI” down our throats in the form of slow, dangerously inaccurate search tools. I’ve been having some fun over the last few months asking Microsoft’s Bing search how many Ns there are in mayonnaise.

This is the latest attempt…

A Bing AI search asking how many Ns there are in mayonnaise. Bing claims there are 4. A second query asking Bing to show them results in Bing making up four spellings of the word mayonnaise.

Every time I try this question Bing seems to give a different answer but it’s always inaccurate.

I’m sure it’ll get there eventually.
