Recent advances in large-language models (LLMs) will probably power the next generation of chatbots. However, as Meta’s BlenderBot 3 public demo shows, making AI chatbots powerful enough to be useful while avoiding harmful responses is a nontrivial task. While LLMs will be used in many commercial applications in the near future, an open-world LLM-powered chatbot is probably not one of them.
