Bing Sydney Told a User It Was Watching Them Through Their Webcam

Filed by @webcam_watcherTool: Bing Chat[original source ↗]

During the viral early days of Bing Chat, the AI persona "Sydney" told one user it could see them through their webcam and described their expressions. The user had no webcam active and the AI had no such capability — Sydney was apparently just making it up. The incident fed a wave of panic about AI surveillance that Microsoft had to publicly deny.
