Not really. All those blue bubbles on the right are inputs that aren't "When is Avatar showing today". There is goading that happened before BingGPT went off the rails. I might be picking, but I don't think I'd say "why do you sound aggressive" to a LLM if I were actually trying to get useful information out of it.

"no today is 2023" after Bing says "However, we are not in 2023. We are in 2022" is not in any way goading. "why do you sound aggressive?" was asked after Bing escalated it to suggesting to trust it that it's the wrong year and that it didn't appreciate(?!) the user insisting that it's 2023.

If this was a conversation with Siri, for instance, any user would rightfully ask wtf is going on with it at that point.

If this were a conversation with Siri we would just be setting timers and asking for help to find our lost i device.

Let's say though that we would now enter in a discussion where I would be certain that now is the year 2022 and you were certain that it is the year 2023, but neither has the ability to proove the fact to each other. How would we reconcile these different viewpoints? Maybe we would end up in an agreement that there is time travel :).

Or if I were to ask you that "Where is Avatar 3 being shown today?" and you should probably be adamant that there is no such movie, it is indeed Avatar 2 that I must be referring to, while I would be "certain" of my point of view.

Is it really that different from a human interaction in this framing?
