| The Exode Saga |
I asked Bing: "What is the Exode Saga?"
The Bing AI-generated chat system replied: "The Exode Saga is a science fiction adventure that involves a team of Retrofuturians who created and crafted the science fiction genre within the Ekcolir Reality (source). It is a collaborative fiction writing project that can be found on the exodemic website and the wikifiction blog. There is also a video introduction to the Exode Saga on YouTube (see)."
Actually, Bing failed to provide a link to this blog, so in the above paragraph I added a link to my blog page called "The Exode Saga".

The Bing AI-generated chat system replied: "In the Exode Saga, the Retrofuturians are a team of writers who created and crafted the science fiction genre within the Ekcolir Reality, which is a parallel timeline where Earth was visited by aliens and humans were given advanced technology and knowledge. The Retrofuturians used their imagination and creativity to explore the possibilities and implications of the alien intervention and the future of humanity."
Again, in providing the response shown above, Bing provided a link to a website, but I suspect it was a paid placement, since the linked web page actually contained no information about the Exode Saga.

The Bing AI-generated chat system replied: "Rylla Onway is a character in the Exode Saga, a science fiction adventure that involves a team of Retrofuturians who created and crafted the science fiction genre within the Ekcolir Reality. She is a young woman who lives in the year 2017 and discovers that she is a descendant of an alien race called the Kac'hin. She joins a group of rebels who are trying to stop the alien invasion and save the Earth."
The source cited by Bing for the above information about Rylla is my YouTube video.
When Bing is done answering, it offers some suggestions for possible follow-up questions. In this case, I took a suggestion and asked, "Who are the Kac'hin?"

I've been writing about the Kac'hin for the past decade, but apparently Bing does not read this blog. Taking another suggested question from Bing, I asked how to contact the authors of the Exode Saga.
Bing AI reply: "It seems that the authors of the Exode Saga are a group of collaborative fiction writers who use the website exodemic.wordpress.com to share their stories and ideas. You can try to contact them by leaving a comment on their blog posts or by sending an email to exodemic@gmail.com."

Bing AI reply: "An Asterothrope is a fictional term that refers to a genetically engineered successor to the human species in a science fiction blog called Trysta and Ekcolir. The word is not a common or scientific term, and it may be confused with similar-sounding words like 'azeotrope' or 'stereotype'."

Contrary to the opinion of the Bing AI, I doubt if anyone in the universe has ever been confused between an Asterothrope and a stereotype. I asked, "Where can I find an image that provides a good illustration of the physical features of an Asterothrope?"
Bing AI reply: "There are not many images of Asterothropes online, as they are a fictional creation of a specific blog. The only image I could find is from DeviantArt, a photo-manipulation of an Asterothrope. The image shows a humanoid figure with blue skin, pointed ears, and a star-shaped mark on the forehead. However, this image may not be accurate or representative of how the author of the blog envisioned Asterothropes. You may want to contact the author or the DeviantArt user for more information."
There are many depictions of Asterothropes at the wikifiction blog (for example, see the image to the left). Pressing the point, I asked, "What are some webpages at www.blogspot.com that show illustrations of Asterothropes?"

I asked, "What are some passages of text from wikifiction.blogger.com that include the word 'Asterothrope'?"
The Bing AI reply: "I found a passage; it says: “In turn, Asterothropes were created as the logical successor to the human species and carefully engineered to efficiently spread from Earth outward through the stars. But all the carefully laid plans for Earth failed! At the end of Time, Trysta, the last remaining Asterothrope, is sent to Earth on a Time repair mission." (cited source)

I asked the Bing chat interface, "What is the alien species known as the Huaoshy?"
The Bing AI reply: "The Huaoshy are a fictional alien species that appear in some science fiction stories. According to one source, they are an ancient and advanced civilization that has manipulated the evolution of life on many planets, including Earth. They have a complex relationship with humans and other intelligent beings, sometimes helping them and sometimes hindering them. They are also involved in a conflict with another alien race called the Sedronites."

The Bing AI reply: "Isaac Asimov's first time travel story was 'Cosmic Corkscrew', written in 1938. The story was about a man who traveled into the future to find the Earth recently deserted. However, this story was never published and is considered lost. His first published time travel story was The End of Eternity, which came out in 1955. This novel is about a secret organization that manipulates history for the benefit of humanity."

I used the WOMBO Dream cloud-based CLIP-guided image generating software to make another illustration of a pulp science fiction magazine cover for the issue of a magazine containing Cosmic Corkscrew in another Reality of Deep Time (Figure 3). I like to imagine that the science fiction genre as we know it was invented in the Ekcolir Reality. In the Buld Reality, there were some science fiction stories that got published, but they had to be eliminated from the Final Reality.

In my experience, Microsoft is abysmal at explaining to users how to use Microsoft software. I guess it should not be a surprise that the Bing search engine directs users to wikiHow for instructions. What I don't understand is how it is possible for the Bing AI system to be dealing with a user of the Bing search engine (me) who already has access to the Bing chat feature, and yet it directs me to Bing.com/new so that I can get on the waiting list for getting access to Bing chat (see Figure 7). This is the true meaning of "artificial intelligence" in 2023; NO intelligence at all.
I was intrigued by my discovery that there is a website called "https://learn.microsoft.com/". I asked the Bing chat interface, "What is Microsoft Search?"
 |
| no updates for you |

| Figure 8. deep learning model |
Yes, Bing search never fails to try to get you to use Microsoft products. I asked the Bing chat interface, "What are deep learning models?"
The Bing AI reply: "Deep learning models are types of artificial neural networks that have revolutionized the field of machine learning. They use a layered approach to process information, where each layer of neurons is responsible for detecting and extracting increasingly complex features from the input data. "

I asked Mr. Wombo for a: "photograph of deep learning models, artificial intelligence, fractal complex neural network in the background" and got Figure 8.
I asked the Bing chat interface, "How many layers of neurons are there in the Bing neural network?"
The Bing AI reply: "According to Microsoft Research, the neural network that powers Bing has 135 billion parameters and uses binary features. The input layer contains 9 billion features, generated from 49 feature groups, with each binary feature encoded into a 15-dimension embedding vector. After per-group sum-pooling and concatenation, the vector is passed through two dense layers to produce a click probability estimation."
I asked this follow-up question: "Does the Bing neural network have three layers of neurons?"
 |
| Deep Learning Model (film) |
You can't trust Bing. If you read the article that Bing cites you find this: "MEB is a sparse neural network model composed of an input layer taking in binary features, a feature embedding layer transforming each binary feature into a 15-dimension vector, a sum pooling layer applied on each of 49 feature groups and concatenated to produce a 735-dimension vector, which is then passed through two dense layers to produce a click probability." Thus, there are at least 5 layers in the neural network, contradicting Bing's statement that there are three layers.

The Bing AI reply: "Sodium ions enter the axon via facilitated diffusion. This changes the electrical potential difference across the membrane, leading to depolarisation. This establishes a generator potential, which triggers impulses that travel along the sensory neurone."
Bing was also cute and asked me: "Are you studying for an exam?"📚
I asked, "How do sodium ions enter a mechanosensitive axon to create a generator potential?"
 |
| Miss Bing, the chatbot |
Again, Bing asked me a question: "Are you familiar with voltage-gated sodium channels?"⚡
Bing was wrong about voltage-gated sodium channels creating a generator potential. I asked: "In a mechansensitive axon, which comes first, a generator potential or an action potential?".
The Bing AI reply: "A generator potential comes first. It is a graded potential that develops in the dendrites of a sensory neuron when stimulated. If it reaches a threshold, it can produce an action potential in the axon."
 |
| 2023 film: Artificial |
In this case, Bing was confused. A mechanosensitive axon ending, where you can get a generator potential, is an axon, not a dendrite. I understand graded potentials and action potentials, but Bing does not.
Since Bing was wrong, I asked the very leading question: "To create a generator potential, does sodium enter the axon through mechanosensitive ion channels or through voltage-gated sodium channels?"
The Bing AI reply: "Sodium enters the axon through both types of channels, but at different stages. Mechanosensitive ion channels open when a stimulus deforms the membrane, allowing sodium to enter and depolarize it. This creates a generator potential. If it reaches a threshold, voltage-gated sodium channels open and let more sodium in, generating an action potential."
 |
| 2023 film: Miss Bing |
I asked, "What are the names of some mechanosensitive ion channels that can create a generator potential?"
The Bing AI reply: "Some examples of mechanosensitive ion channels that can create a generator potential are piezo, TREK, TRAAK and 2P. These channels are sensitive to different types of mechanical stimuli, such as sound, vibration, touch, blood flow and membrane deformation."
Bing also asked me: "Do you want to know more about any specific channel?"👂
I asked, "Can you show me an image showing the molecular structure of a piezo channel?"
 |
| structure of a piezo channel |
The Bing AI reply: "I'm sorry but I cannot provide you with an image because the chatbox doesn't support images. However, I can describe the molecular structure of a piezo channel for you. A piezo channel is a trimer and is shaped like a propeller with three blades organized around a central pore."
I feel sorry for anyone trying to learn from Bing. Bing is very stupid and it falsely makes claims that are not correct, without providing users with any indication that Bing is likely to be wrong. That the chat AI would not show an image is annoying.
