oh but transcripts are?

-- ceejayoz on their deathbed

It's turtles all the way down.

If you don't trust the NYT to accurately report on a Bing conversation, neither screenshots nor the transcript were gonna fix it.

The bot mimics online conversation, if the conversation exists online it can mimic it. I'm sure there are plenty of conversations or stories with a person trying to declare their love to another person and then becoming more and more hostile as their approach doesn't stick, so Bing just identified that its role was to play that person and then played that role.

Why do you think this is so unbelievable you need picture proof? This is exactly the kind of thing the bot was designed to do.

i was refering specifically to the bit where part of the conversation was removed. it doesnt make sense to me that it would send the "malicious"(?) reply the bot made and then censor it after the fact. describing whatever bad things the bot said there is just moot and hearsay.
