Microsoft once again is its own worst enemy with its Bing tinkering
Suddenly, all that positive exposure started to turn a bit sour – leading Microsoft to hastily take a scalpel to Bing and give it a lobotomy. Topics were banned and theThe problem was, by removing the weirdness, Microsoft made Bing boring again.After Microsoft drastically reduced the new Bing’s AI smarts, people took to the internet to complain. It seemed like Bing was now trying to avoid discussing any contentious issues, and would call time on a conversation after just five responses.
Microsoft had been a bit too brutal when it came to limiting Bing, and it appears the company is now looking to reverse some of those changes. As, a new blog post from Microsoft acknowledges that “since placing the chat limits, we have received feedback from many of you wanting a return of longer chats, so that you can both search more effectively and interact with the chat feature better.”
The company is looking into ways to bring back longer chats “responsibly”, and it is increasing the number of replies to six. Users can now also perform a total of 60 chats per day with Bing, an increase over the 50 that was imposed last week., “Our data shows that for the vast majority of you, this will enable your natural daily use of Bing” and that eventually, this will increase to 100 chats a day.
All this chopping and changing isn’t a great look for Microsoft, however. The ChatGPT inclusion was supposed to be a big relaunch for the floundering Bing search engine, which has failed to challenge Google’s dominance, and straight after the reveal, it seemed like Bing’s time in the limelight had finally come. However, those early glitches weren’t just embarrassing for Microsoft, they highlighted the perils of showing new tech off too soon.
Microsoft’s subsequent removal of features, then adding some back, and drastic cuts to Bing’s capabilities means no one is really sure what Bingat the moment. It feels like Microsoft might not have fully understood what it was creating, and that creation took on a life of its own and turned into a monster. In its rush to get it back under control, the company might have inadvertently killed off its creation in the process.
