They might consider it to be against CFAA[0] (either 4 or "exceeding authorized access" somewhere would be my guess), in which case that is in their content policy: "[the user agrees] Not to do anything illegal. Your use of the Online Services must comply with applicable laws."

- basch 4y agoA little beside the point. The terms say they can do whatever they want. If they want people not to behave in certain ways, spell it out. That's the point of a code of conduct, and of reading it. If there is a strike system, make it transparent. If something breaks the code of conduct, tell the person. Don't design and make these systems and interaction with them contingent on opaque rules and tracking.
- pixl97 4y agoHeh, the 2023 take on AI safety. "TOS agreement rules: You will not ask the AI to destroy the world. Doing so will get you kicked from the service. It may also enrage the world eating machine that we're giving you open access to"
- taneq 4y agoIt’s worse than that: The first rule of Bing Club is you do not ask Bing to tell you what you’re not allowed to ask it.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoSorry, yes, I agree. I don't mean to excuse, just explain (rather, speculate, I suppose).
- psychphysic 4y agoThere is almost certainly a broad prohibition against misusing their services in the terms. There's little point in them trying to enumerate all the ways you might do that.
- basch 4y agoSomething else is going on. Before it just ended the conversation if it didn’t like it. Or it would retroactively remove its response.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoI was wondering if Microsoft is interpreting a violation of the CFAA as a violation of their code of conduct. I guess more precisely that “prompt injection” is somehow a violation of the CFAA.
- basch 4y agoI doubt it’s that thought out. They just want to curb prompt injections now, and they figure people doing it will keep testing the boundaries. They must feel they have enough sample size now to no longer need to study it.
