Microsoft’s Bing is enjoying the spotlight for the first time in a decade after it released a GPT-powered interface last month. The chat mode of Bing allows users to interact with an AI chatbot that can answer questions, generate content, and have conversations on various topics. The chatbot is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, which was unveiled earlier this week as the most advanced language model ever created.
Bing Chat was initially launched with a waitlist system that limited the number of users who could access it. Users had to sign up with their email address and wait for an invitation to try out the chatbot. Microsoft said this was done to ensure a smooth user experience and to collect feedback from early adopters.
However, it seems that Microsoft is doing away with the waitlist system and opening up Bing Chat to everyone who wants to try it out. According to TechCrunch, Microsoft confirmed that it was removing the waitlist and anyone can sign up now by visiting bing.com/chat.
Microsoft also announced some improvements to Bing Chat based on user feedback. The chatbot now has a higher limit of 15 turns in a conversation and 150 messages per day per user. It also has better error handling and more natural responses. Microsoft said it was working on adding more features and capabilities to Bing Chat in the future.
Bing Chat is one of the first applications of GPT-4, which is considered a breakthrough in natural language processing. GPT-4 is capable of generating coherent and diverse texts on any topic, given some input or context. It can also answer questions, summarize texts, write code, create poems, and more.
GPT-4 is trained on a massive corpus of text data from the internet, which gives it a broad knowledge base and a rich vocabulary. However, it also means that it may inherit some biases or inaccuracies from its training data. Therefore, users should be cautious when using Bing Chat or any other GPT-powered service and not take its outputs as facts or advice. Bing Chat is an exciting experiment that showcases the potential of GPT-4 and AI chatbots in general. It offers users a new way to interact with Bing and explore various topics of interest. It also provides an opportunity for Microsoft to gain insights into user behavior and preferences, which could help improve its products and services.
