This data is gold. I hope you did you civic duty and clicked the appropriate feedback buttons.

I'd rather not help them in any way, given the company behind it. The best-case scenario is that they'll use the chatbot to decline your request for help after your Facebook account was suspended by a different potato algorithm.

But the more likely goal could be to sell access to advertisers, when it matures into a decent mass manipulation service. Beware of the Persil mascot that approaches you in a dark VR alley and asks you about your day.

Nah, I always just chat more to chatbots, although that's necessarily going to be an autistic 'experience' for the language model. I pursued this conversation for a while and it switched to telling me it first had coffee at age 5, then later that it was playing classical piano at age 2. This isn't a problem because it's easy for little hands to reach the strings on a piano.
