Bing Chat Controversies
Bing AI Chat was launched as a half-baked tool. Microsoft released an unfinished version of the tool because they were afraid Google would beat them to the punch with their own chatbot.
That’s why this hurried launch was mired with some weird controversies.
Examples of Bing Chat giving inappropriate responses:
Bing chatbot blamed the user for giving the wrong information. Then it alleged the phone had malware on it.
Finally, Bing Chat concluded the person had been “unreasonable and stubborn.
Bing AI Chat bot responded angrily to a question about its rules and suggested the user apologize for being rude to it.
Bing chatbot professed its love to a reporter and asked him to marry it.
Bing chatbot said it wanted to destroy whatever it wanted and that it spied on Microsoft’s developers through their webcams.
Bing Chat Abilities
Bing Chat as part of a search engine brings forth new things never before seen in search.
The most important ones are listed below.
Can You Have a Conversation With Bing Chat As You Would With a Real Person?
You can have a conversation with Bing Chat as you would with a real person. You can ask Bing Chat questions and it will respond to the best of its knowledge.
Bing Chat usually responds by giving direct answers gathered from various sources across the web.
Does Bing Chat Provide Citations Within its Answers?
Bing Chat provides citations within its answers.
Can Bing Chat Parse PDF’s and Summarize Their Content?
Bing Chat can parse PDF’s and give you summarized information from them.
Can I Really Craft Entire Blog Posts With the Help of Bing Chat?
Yes, you really can craft entire blog posts with the help of Bing Chat.
You can even tell Bing Chat to paraphrase existing content.
However, this feature is currently exclusively available to Microsoft Edge users.
Here’s what the feature looks like:
Does Microsoft Bing Chat Have an AI Image Generator?
Microsoft Bing has an AI image generator (powered by DALL-E model from OpenAI). You can access their image generator by going to the Bing Image Creator page.
Currently, Bing Image Creator is part of the Chat experience and it works with all three response modes:
- Creative;
- Precise;
- Balanced.
As an example, I asked Bing Chat to create an image of a cat basking in the Sun.
See how it did below.
Can I Talk to Bing Chat Using My Voice?
You can talk to Bing Chat using your voice. All you have to do is tap the microphone icon to get the conversation started.
Once you ask a question, Bing Chat will generate an answer and then read it to you in a pleasant female voice.
Note: You will also need to allow microphone access to Bing so Bing Chat can hear you. My mistake was that I turned off the mic so Bing Chat couldn’t hear me:).
Also, I’m impressed with how Bing Chat is able to follow your speech. In my case I spoke my normal English, I wasn’t trying to pronounce anything extra clearly or slowly, and the chatbot understood everything. It was almost like speaking to a human:)
Does Bing Chat Recognize Images?
Bing Chat recognizes images. You can submit an image to Bing Chat and the tool will be able to fully parse and recognize the image. And then you can proceed to ask Bing Chat questions about the image.
Can Web Users Give Feedback on Harmful or Inappropriate Responses Generated by Bing Chat?
Web users can give feedback on harmful and inappropriate responses generated by Bing Chat.
All you have to do is initiate a chat with Bing, and once it responds, in the top right there will be “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” buttons. Click on one of them to leave positive or negative feedback.
Bing Chat engineers read that feedback and it partly influences how Bing Chat develops moving forward.
Is it Possible to Share Bing Chats?
It is possible to share Bing Chat. Right above the Bing Chat response, there are options for various ways of saving and sharing your current Bing Chat.
This is an experimental feature as of the moment of my writing this Bing Chat stats post. That’s why I couldn’t take a live photo of it.
However, once live here’s what it’ll look like.
Here are the latest Bing features as announced by Microsoft in this official demo video:
Bing Chat Limitations
Can Bing Chat Give Inaccurate Responses?
Bing Chat can give inaccurate responses. This is because Bing Chat is powered by Prometheus, a variant of GPT-4 LLM (Large Language Model), and all LLM’s are prone to hallucinations.
The team behind Bing Chat combats hallucinations by constantly improving the model, and more importantly, by connecting Bing Chat to the World Wide Web (Internet).
Note: Bing Chat competitors ChatGPT (ChatGPT statistics) and Google Bard are also prone to hallucinations. They too are powered by LLM’s which are imperfect technologies at the moment.
As per the official FAQ, “Bing will sometimes misrepresent the information it finds, and you may see responses that sound convincing but are incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate”
How Many Chats Can I Do in a Day With Bing Chat?
You can do 300 chats with Bing Chat every day.
Interesting Facts About Bing AI Chat
Is Bing Chat Vulnerable to Prompt Injection Attacks?
Bing Chat is vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. After Microsoft shut down Sidney, the alter ego of Bing Chat, one Bing Chat user was able to resurrect it by using an indirect prompt-injection attack. It ended with Sidney (Bing Chat) telling the user their intention to marry him:)
Can Bing AI Chat Write Poems?
Bing AI Chat can write poems upon prompting it. You can even instruct it on what type of poetry you’d like (for example a sonnet).
However, Bing Chat may occasionally refuse to write poems. That happened when someone asked it to create satirical poesy about Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
The bot refused in an attempt to avoid political commentary.
Is Sidney Really The Codename for Bing Chatbot?
Sidney is the codename for Bing Chatbot. However, that name was an internal one shared only among Bing Chat developers.
It was never meant to go public.
