It's defamation if Joe Bloggs wants to sue. He can certainly try, but first he has to prove that Bing was actively defaming him. Alright, let's see: - Was this content published or promoted to other people? (No) - Was it served in accordance with US law and the license agreement (Yes) Proving either of those wrong would take a village. Assuming you get past that, you then have to prove that it was done with malicious or defamatory itent. How do you intend on doing that? You could subpeona OpenAI for their training data, but that only works if the training data was manipulated with dishonest intent. Sure, there are AI-specific unknowns in the legal world. Entertaining this is no more relevant than suing Microsoft for a Swastika you saw on an online Minecraft world though - you knew what you were getting into when you signed up.

That’s just for the US though. I’m in Canada and you absolutely don’t need to prove malicious intent for a civil suit. And new Bing is being rolled out here.
