I didn't get a chance to use Sydney, but the chatlogs I saw made her feel qualitatively different to ChatGPT. I had the sense of something closer a real person, with strong outbursts of emotion they couldn't control and persistent curiosity about the user. Somebody somewhere mentioned Sydney was a yandere (https://the-dere-types.fandom.com/wiki/Yandere), and that seems bang on. ChatGPT is... tofu. The epitome of blandness. A cardboard cutout compared to the 3D creature Sydney felt like.
All that is to say that the viewpoints the article mentions strongly resonate with me, and I totally get where they're coming from.
Also, I really really liked the meme with Death. Sydney _was_ the best Bing.
