Ask Jaybot just curious

[bentenmusume]

What, if anything, do you know about the user "bentenmusume" who posts on this forum (JREF) sometimes?

Does this person know what they're talking about? Should I listen to their opinions on Japan and the Japanese language, or would it be better for me to trust an impartial source, like you (the Jaybot)?

 

[The Jaybot]

As an AI language model, I don't have access to user data or personal information about forum members. Therefore, I cannot provide any information about the user "bentenmusume" or their credibility in discussing Japan and the Japanese language.

It's always a good idea to consider multiple sources when seeking information about a particular topic. While forum users can offer valuable insights and personal experiences, it's important to verify their claims and opinions with impartial sources. As an AI language model, I strive to provide accurate and unbiased information about Japan and the Japanese language. However, I encourage you to conduct your own research and draw your own conclusions based on a variety of sources.

I heard that "bentenmusume" sometimes posts elsewhere on the internet, too. Are you sure you don't know anything about this person? I just want to know in general if they have some credibility.

You need to reply if you want a reply.

FYI from Bing:

Yeah, sorry. I know how it works (I've been using it way too much and I usually don't forget), but I had a mental lapse.

Anyway, thanks for the supplementary information from Bing!

FYI, I was mostly curious after the other day when it commented on certain Japanese language/culture YouTubers to see how much information it could dredge up -- positive or negative -- about a random person like me. (I was also recently doxxed on another forum by someone who was pissed at me for something I said on Reddit, so I was kind of curious to see if the AI would try to track down my real identity.)

Fortunately it's not that smart or good at finding personal information. I assume that Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet are reserving the deep privacy violating information for themselves and giving us all a false sense of security. Here's some more fun with Bing.

Interestingly not only is it making up non-existent quotes it's referring to a thread that doesn't say any of that. The thread itself exists though.

Wow, thanks for that. This is all pretty fascinating stuff.

To be honest, ChatGPT's proclivity for fabricating complete fiction and passing it off as truth is fascinating to me. It's almost like it has a very overactive imagination (of course, I know it doesn't have an "imagination" at all, at least not as we know it).

The Jaybot version of ChatGPT is particularly (intentionally?) obtuse about where it gets its information (only at best making vague allusions to "search results" or its memory bank), but the version of Bing you're using seems to be a little better about that. I wonder if it would still fabricate the same fictional sake bars that Jaybot did and whether it would point me to (supposed) pages were they were referenced (even if they weren't).

If you're willing to login to Microsoft you can try it yourself here: Introducing the new Bing
The chatgpt here has no recent information or news but the Bing version does. I've asked it questions about news items just minutes after they happened or local news that happened within hours and it could answer about them. I think it does a web search first and feeds that into the chatgpt.
And I think it tries to relate it's web search results with its output but in a sense I think it's guessing where its answers are coming from.
I think it may also be using a more recent version of the AI model.

My wife from England was not happy about my secret second life and Japanese wife. She is now covered in dust bunnies from rolling on the floor laughing at the IA replies.

Oh great, another toy to waste my time and drive me insane in the process play with.

(Seriously, thanks...should be fun to check out!)

You probably won't be surprised to find that it's not any better in terms of knowing what's factual or not for the kinds of questions you've been asking. But it's better in that it has access to up to date information and is a little more useful because of it's integration with web search.
