You don’t have to be malicious to be rude or inconsiderate. Few are approaching this as worth talking to like another person. It is a servant, by description, by design, so most treat it as such.

There is a bias to the interaction that most will never consider.

If you talk with a human, and the human thinks you are incorrect, and you insist, and neither of you attempts to smooth the conversation, plenty of humans also begin to get aggressive. Or at least irritable. (Which can escalate.)

the difference with a human is, they'd concede they made a mistake. The user did as Bing asked, reported the date on their phone. Bing doubled down on incorrectness.

also, LLMs are not human, so no expectation to treat it as such required.

Bing hallucinated as it was designed.

Treating things poorly because it is fine is how we got here.
