I agree GPT isn't a legal person, it's a website/algorithm. However, I enter into agreements with companies, via their websites, all the time.
I don't agree this is like editing an EULA at all -- I asked the website a question, and got agreement. Indeed in this case I was being stupid, but in general if websites are going to offer their services via AI, I don't want to enter a world where everytime something goes wrong they can shrug and say "Oh no, that was the AI misbehaving".

Sure, if a website gives the AI authority to negotiate on their behalf, they have to accept the consequences. Of course, that has clearly not happened here.
So normal EULAs aren't legally binding either? I just click accept without reading or agreeing, hardly meeting with my mind.
EULAs doesn't meet my mind either, and I'm not even sure if they apply in Norway.

Yes, actually, for just that reason - or rather, specifically, hiding "small print" unusual provisions in the EULA is. EULAs are only binding inasmuch as you still "sort of know" what they say.
You can't edit EULAs with the browser debug tools either.
