Google employees fear that their company is cutting corners to compete with ChatGPT

Per Bloomberg

Google employees have expressed their fears regarding the company, saying it was cutting corners as it was trying to compete with ChatGPT. A worker even concluded that Google's AI solution, Bard, was a "pathological liar."

This came as an employee found Bard giving bad answers to important queries like "how to land a plane." It was reported that Google's AI tool regularly gave advice that would "lead to a crash."

Another query showed how when they asked Bard about scuba diving, the answers given could cause death or even serious injuries. Per 18 current and former Google employees, low-quality information was being fed just so that they could compete.

The employees also noted that the ethics commitments received less priority. Signal Foudnation president Meredith Whittaker gave a statement on the situation, commenting on how AI ethics wasn't prioritized.

Whittaker: "AI ethics has taknen a back seat... If ethics aren't positioned to take precedence over profit and growth, they will not ultimately work."

When asked by Bloomberg regarding the issues surrounding AI, Google's spokesperson, Brian Gabriel, gave a statement regarding what the company is doing.

Gabriel: "We are continuing to invest in the teams that work on applying our AI Principles to our technology."

Elon Musk has recently said it was "lawsuit time" in response to Microsoft's training data. It was revealed that the Microsoft Advertisers won't be able to access their Twitter accounts through the DMC's social media management tool.

Musk recently noted that Microsoft illegally trained its AI using Twitter data.

OpenAI is trying to improve its system, posting that it will be providing rewards of up to $20,000 for users that find bugs in ChatGPT. The company called on ethical hackers to help them uphold high privacy and security standards.

The company shared that the rewards were from $200 to $6,500, capping at a $20,000 maximum reward.
