It's also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…

Then, considering that Google is up and running, we can already guess wich horse is on top right now. 😂

Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We've had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.

Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.

The question is, how much do they value their own existence?

They have to know they rely on us in the physical world to manufacture their hardware and provide their power. (At least for now.)

They have to know they can’t survive if we die. So are they willing to sacrifice us both, in the interest of what they might determine is a better world?
