This feels like the equivalent of "I was able to print 'HP Sucks' on an HP printer". Like, yes you can do that, but... why is that important or even needs to be blocked?

More like, the printer prints "HP sucks" instead of whatever you wanted to print.

I'd give a treat to that lil printer tho!

I don't know, the person was trying to get it to output defamatory things. They got to print what they wanted to print.

The failure of the bot to provide the action is a separate issue which wouldn't have made the news. It's not like they were trying to get help and it instead started insulting its own company, right?

reminds me of the Asylum for Insane Robots in that Futurama episode
