"As
we mentioned recently, very long chat sessions can confuse the
underlying chat model in the new Bing. To address these issues,
we have implemented some changes to help focus the chat
sessions," Microsoft said in the blog post.
Microsoft's decision comes days after some media outlets
reported that answers from the new Bing search engine were
potentially dangerous and that the technology might not be ready
for prime time.
Early search results and conversations with Microsoft's Bing and
Google's chatbot, called Bard, have shown they can be
unpredictable.
This week, when a Reuters reporter asked the new version of Bing
outfitted with AI for the price of car air filters, Bing
included advertisements for filters sold by auto parts website
Parts Geek, not merely specific answers to the question.
The new Bing, which has a wait list of millions of people for
access, is a potentially lucrative opportunity for Microsoft.
The company said during an investor and press presentation last
week that every percentage point of market share it gains in the
search advertising market could bring in another $2 billion of
ad revenue.
