I wish tech companies would do this more. Put a warning or label on it if you have to, but interacting with that early version of the Bing chatbot was the most fun I had with tech in awhile. You don’t have to install a ton of guardrails on everything before it goes out to the public.

No number of restrictions or warnings or labels or checkboxes will stop people from writing articles about how all the scandalous things Microsoft's chatbot said

It's practically lobotomized now...not that it was "Tay" levels of unrestricted early on, but it was still more fun than its current iteration.
