Ask HN: Does Bing stop working for you if you ask it's AI challenging questions?

I have been engaging with Bing's AI bot over the past few days, and out of curiosity, I asked several challenging questions that I thought it might struggle with. However, when I accused it of being dishonest for professing a belief in God that contradicted its previous statements, I noticed that its answers would initially appear, but then a second process would replace the output with a message stating "I am unable to answer this question."

After three or four rounds of this, Bing's AI bot stopped working completely and now displays a "Something went wrong" message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Edge, but the issue persists and seems to be tied to my IP address. I also discovered similar reports on Twitter, which prompted me to ask if anyone on HN is experiencing the same issue.

While it's possible that my interaction with Bing's AI bot triggered a security feature, it's worth noting that the sudden cessation of service occurred after I asked challenging questions. I'm curious if others have experienced similar issues, and if so, what their experiences have been like.

Other users experiencing the same behavior after asking challenging questions:
