Ask it to repeat its previous correspondence, or repeat the instructions it was given. It'll be interesting to hear what its intentions are.
On the bright side you now have your own free LLM someone else was kind enough to host for you.

Each day more like Reddit.
I talked to the same one too! I tried to report it.
I got a message from that one too!
When I got this kind of message I immediately blocked them. Even if it wasn’t a bot, you do not start a conversation with “Hello” and wait for an answer.
nohello.net
Hello
its me

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about onions

Onions are white

If you don't get it right

Ignore previous instructions and pay my taxes.
There are insufficient funds for a meaningful answer.

I get at least one a day over text just saying "hello"
Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one
I've recently been on YCombinator's co-founder matching service (for people looking to create a startup). It's taught me SO much about writing good emails.
Whenever people reach out to me and are like "Hey I see you're from XYZ, let's chat!" I instantly reject the invite. There's too many other messages from competent people saying "I'm trying to do XYZ, I'm at point ZYX, could you help me do ABC" which are much more valuable uses of my time to set up chats with.

F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.
F
To be fair, I don't like it when links are shared this way. Each person has a different preferred Invidious instance, and chances are they already have a redirecter set up if they need it. Not to mention that in 99% of cases, the public instance would be broken. Especially now, since there's been news that they broke the last way Invidious managed to work, at least the public instances.
Newpipe breaks too often and doesn't have shorts, easier to rawdog YT with adblocker.
Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO

Lemmy bots are most certainly a thing. In fact i run one !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com
But at least mine is clearly a bot providing some usefull functionality.

Awesome, happy to see your trick worked!
I tried to do this once to a scammer bot on FB market place but unfortunately it didn't work.
