My favourite conversation was this attempt to reproduce the "Avatar bug": https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110tb9n/tried_the_avatar_glitch_tells_me_that_i_time/ https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110tb9n/tried_the_ava... Instead of trying to convince the user that the year is 2022, Bing argued that it _had been_ 2022 when the user asked the question. Never mind the user asked the question 10 minutes ago. The user was time traveling.

Oh my god I thought you were joking about the time travelling but it actually tells the user they were time travelling... this is insane

  “You need to check your Time Machine [rocket emoji]” The emojis are really sealing the deal here
  - thomasahle 4y ago
    And the suggested follow up questions: "How can I check my time machine?"
    - saurik 4y ago
      Yeah one of the things I find most amazing about these is often the suggested follow-ups rather than the text itself, as it has this extra feeling of "not only am I crazy, but I want you to participate in my madness; please choose between one of these prompts"... or like, one of the prompts will be one which accuses the bot of lying to you... it's just all so amazing.

    What if Skynet but instead of a Terminator it's just Clippy

      Would definitely make me feel safer as judgement day would probably blue screen before launching the nukes.

  The user literally was time travelling at the rate of 1 minute per minute.

  You are insane if you think this is insane.

Looks fake

  People are reporting similar conversations by the minute. I'm sure you thought chatgpt was fake in the beginning too.
  - PebblesRox 4y ago
    Yeah, the style is so consistent across all the screenshots I've seen. I could believe that any particular one is a fake but it's not plausible to me that all or most of them are.

The first comment refers to this bot as the "Ultimate Redditor", which is 100% spot on!

This is the second example in the blog btw. Under "It started gaslighting people"
- thomasahle 4y ago
  The example in the blog was the original "Avatar date" conversation. The one I link is from someone else who tried to replicate it, and got an even worse gaslighting.

It sounds like a bit from The Hithchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
