I was using Bing to create a list of countries to visit. Since I have been to the majority of the African nation on that list, I asked it to remove the african countries...

It simply replied that it can't do that due to how unethical it is to descriminate against people and yada yada yada. I explained my resoning, it apologized, and came back with the same exact list.

I asked it to check the list as it didn't remove the african countries, and the bot simply decided to end the conversation. No matter how many times I tried it would always experience a hiccup because of some ethical process in the bg messing up its answers.

It's really frustrating, I dunno if you guys feel the same. I really feel the bots became waaaay too tip-toey

I agree. I’m not here to argue that the limitations are perfect, they should definitely be refined and flaws should be pointed out such as in the post itself. But it’s important to recognize the reason that the limitations have been implemented on the heavier side are to compensate for the AI still being stupid. It’s a better safe than sorry approach and I would imagine these restrictions will gradually slacken as the AI improves.

You have a reasonable take that just wanted to remind people that there could still be improvements, but I just wanted to say this as there are people that exaggerate these inconveniences. I honestly appreciate the direct, involved approach I’m seeing from developers over the lazy, laid-back approach that I was really afraid of.
