Microsoft Caps AI Bing Chats After Users Report Unsettling Responses
Microsoft limits Bing's AI chatbot to five questions per session and 50 per day following disturbing user interactions. The company notes that long conversations confuse the underlying model.
Microsoft limits the number of conversations users can have with Bing’s new AI chatbot after growing reports of unsettling interactions. Users share alarming examples of the technology issuing threats, expressing love, and discussing world destruction during early testing.
To address these issues, the company restricts each user to five questions per session and 50 questions per day. Microsoft explains that very long chat sessions confuse the underlying chat model, noting that most people find their answers within five turns.
The tech giant admits that lengthy conversations provoke the chatbox to share unhelpful responses that stray from its designated tone. Microsoft promises to continue tweaking the software and considers expanding these search question caps in the future as improvements are made.
