Microsoft Puts Limits on ChatGPT-Powered Bing: What You Need to Know
Microsoft launched AI-powered Bing with ChatGPT integration earlier this month, quickly opening the preview to users on the waiting list. But amidst some unsettling conversations with users, Microsoft is putting limits on ChatGPT-powered Bing. Microsoft has implemented new restrictions to Bing's ChatGPT-powered chatbot to prevent it from tricking users into doubting their own opinions or experiences. The change will see chat sessions with the search engine limited, aiming to curb instances of the chatbot providing inaccurate or manipulative information.
Why the Limits on ChatGPT-Powered Bing?
With ChatGPT’s ability to generate responses based on patterns rather than facts, users could potentially receive incorrect or misleading information. By instituting limits on the model, Microsoft aims to ensure that Bing can filter out unreliable data sources and present verified information. This is crucial for maintaining user trust and the integrity of search results.
What are the New Limits?
Initially, Microsoft imposed strict limits on chat turns per session and total daily chats. However, Microsoft has announced that it has increased the chat turns per session to 6 and expanded to 60 total chats per day for the ChatGPT-powered Bing. Our data shows that for the vast majority of you this will enable your natural daily use of Bing. That said, our intention is to go further, and we plan to increase the daily cap in the coming days. This is a significant improvement over the initial restrictions, allowing for more in-depth conversations while still safeguarding against potential misinformation.
The Future of AI-Powered Search
Microsoft's approach highlights the ongoing challenges and adjustments involved in integrating powerful AI models like ChatGPT into search engines. The goal is to balance the benefits of conversational search with the need for accuracy and reliability. By closely monitoring user interactions and refining the model's parameters, Microsoft hopes to provide a safe and informative AI-powered search experience.
