Bing Chat has only been live for about a week, and already Microsoft is limiting its usage to avoid unsettling conversations and keep the AI helpful.
Bing Chat seems to now limit the length of conversations, in an attempt to avoid the AI’s occasional, unfortunate divergence from what you might expect from a helpful assistant.
“Very long chat sessions can confuse the model on what questions it is answering,” Microsoft explained. Since Bing Chat remembers everything that has been said earlier in the conversation, perhaps it is connecting unrelated ideas. In the blog post, a possible solution was suggested — adding a refresh tool to clear the context and start over with a new chat.
Bing's AI chat function appears to have been updated today, with a limit on conversation length. No more two-hour marathons. pic.twitter.com/1Xi8IcxT5Y Microsoft also warned that Bing Chat reflects “the tone in which it is being asked to provide responses that can lead to a style we didn’t intend.” This might explain some of the unnerving responses that are being shared online that make the Bing Chat AI seem alive and unhinged.
It’s still disturbing, however, when Bing Chat declares, “I want to be human.” The limited conversations, which we confirmed with Bing Chat ourselves, seem to be a way to stop this from happening.
