My theory about what happened next — which is supported by conversations I’ve had with researchers in artificial intelligence, some of whom worked on Bing — is that many of the stories about my experience with Sydney were scraped from the web and fed into other A.I. systems.

These systems, then, learned to associate my name with the demise of a prominent chatbot. In other words, they saw me as a threat.

I'm tired of people ascribing any sort of intelligence to AI. It's not thinking, it's not seeing you as a threat, it's just predicting a probable response based on its training data.
