Microsoft back and forth with its chatbot | | | | Turtles AI

  Bing Chat has become a topic of interest over the last few days with the Bing team thanking users for their feedback. According to a recent statement from the team, long and complicated chat sessions have been causing confusion in the underlying model, leading them to implement a limit of five chat turns per session and a total of 50 per day last Friday. The Bing team acknowledged that these types of chat sessions were not something they had encountered during their internal testing and the reason for preview testing with a limited set of users was to find atypical use cases that could help them improve the product. Since the implementation of the chat limits, the Bing team has received feedback from users requesting the return of longer chats for better interaction with the chat feature. As a result, they are working on bringing back longer chats responsibly and have increased the chat turns per session to six and expanded to 60 total chats per day. The team intends to go further and plans to increase the daily cap to 100 total chats soon. In addition, the Bing team is testing an option that will let users choose the tone of the chat from more precise, balanced, to more creative, providing more control over the type of chat behavior to best meet their needs. Normal searches will no longer count against chat totals, which is a welcomed change. The Bing team encourages users to continue providing feedback and promises to provide more updates as they work on making improvements to the model.
