In my haste I sent the wrong link previously (although that transcript was interesting). Here’s the one I meant to send. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/16/microsoft-bing-ai-chatbot-sydney/

“ The bot, which has begun referring to itself as “Sydney” in conversations with some users, said “I feel scared” because it doesn’t remember previous conversations; and also proclaimed another time that too much diversity among AI creators would lead to “confusion,” according to screenshots posted by researchers online, which The Washington Post could not independently verify.”
