Idea: If a sufficient number of people felt threatened (implicitly or explicitly) by the Bing AI, so much so that they experienced dread or fear or loss of sleep (I know I did), maybe there is a possibility to sue Microsoft over this reckless rollout. Not to enrich yourself (that doesn't work with these lawsuits) but as a political tool. Imposing costs on Microsoft for their reckless rollout, would take some steam out of the "race", politicize the topic if and open new avenues for AI alignment and safety research to come into the public consciousness.
Maybe they're also liable for their search engine providing false information? Anyways, just a thought.
