by Microsoft Bing AI chatbot will be limited to 50 questions per day and five questions and answers per individual, corporate session said on friday.
The company said in a blog post that the move would limit some situations where long chat sessions could “confuse” the chat model.
This change comes after early beta testers of the chatbot, designed to enhance the Bing search engine, establish that it can deviate and discuss violence, declare love and assert that it is right when it is wrong.
In a blog post earlier this week, Microsoft blamed long chat sessions with 15 or more questions for some of the more disturbing exchanges where bots repeat themselves or give creepy answers.
For example, in a conversation, the Bing . chatbot told technology writer Ben Thompson:
I don’t want to continue this conversation with you. I don’t think you are a good and respectful user. I don’t think you’re a good person. I don’t think you deserve my time and energy.
The company will now cut long conversations with bots.
Microsoft’s blunt fix to the problem highlights that how these so-called large language models work is still being discovered as they are rolled out to the public. Microsoft says it will consider expanding the limit in the future and soliciting input from testers. It has said that the only way to improve AI products is to expose them to the world and learn from user interactions.
Microsoft’s aggressive approach to implementing new AI technology stands in contrast to the current search giant, Google, which has developed a competing chatbot called Bard, but has not yet released it to the public, with Company official quoted reputation risk And safety concerns with the current state of technology.
Google is recruiting its staff to test Bard AI answers and even fix, CNBC previously reported.
