If you recall from my last post on “Prompt Engineering”, I mentioned that Stanford University student, Kevin Liu, claimed to have “hacked” (also using prompt engineering techniques) the new Microsoft Bing Chat to reveal its “origin” prompts and the codename, “Sydney”, given to it by Microsoft’s developers.
In case you didn’t know, Bing is Microsoft’s version of Google search, but with just a 2–3% share of the search market versus over 90% for Google (outside of China), it has been a bit of an also-ran in the search space for many years now.
However, with the recent news that “Bing Chat” was alleged to be powered by an upgraded, even more advanced GPT model from OpenAI than that powering the 100-million user-a-day ChatGPT bot, expectations have been extremely high and given Bing a much-needed shot in the arm.
