So that's an interesting point It's the first example of (seemingly) non-deterministic software with the capability of accessing an API that I can think of. Really it feels like a different class of thing than the toy examples elsewhere in this page (pull the trigger when the hash of some input starts with a 1 or whatever). I think picking up on the AI aspect is valid; those "modern AI trends" have sparked a broad discussion about how much agency to give LLMs. It's fundamentally a different discussion than the general one about concerns in software. My point is, you might try to force me to accept a correspondence between these AI models and any other piece of software, and you would probably be right in a mathematical sense, but the curiosity and fear that Bing has provoked is actually about human feelings, not technology. That's why I objected to the flag. Every other comment on this page is evidence of the validity of the issues raised in the post.
