It's hard to believe that Microsoft's improved Bing with ChatGPT has only been out for about a week.
A small group of testers got early access to the new Bing and Edge browser, which now has OpenAI's conversational AI technology built in. Since then, there have been a lot of conversations with the chatbot on the internet. These conversations range from the chatbot saying it loves New York Times columnist Kevin Roose to it insisting 2022 is the year and not giving up. Tim Marcin's roundup of Bing's fails is a good place to find a list of them.
When testers got their hands on the new Bing, it was only natural that they wanted to find flaws in its intelligence and figure out what it couldn't do. And boy, did they make it happen. Even though it might not look good for Microsoft, that is all part of the plan. Giving the model as much exposure and experience as possible is an important part of making it work. This lets developers add new feedback and data, which will make the technology better over time, like a mythical creature that gets stronger by absorbing the power of its defeated enemies.
In its blog post on Wednesday, Microsoft didn't say it quite that way. But it did say again that Bing's crazy week of testing was exactly how it was meant to be. The Bing blog said, "The only way to improve a product like this, where the user experience is so different from anything anyone has seen before, is for people like you to use the product and do exactly what you all do."
But most of the announcement was about how strange Bing has been this week and what can be done to fix it. What they came up with is this:
Improving searches that need to be right and on time
Microsoft said that, in general, citing and referring to the right sources has been good. But it needs some work when it comes to checking the live score in sports, giving facts and numbers in a clear way, and, uh, telling us what year it is. Bing is adding four times as much background information and is thinking about "adding a toggle that gives you more control over how precise or creative the answer is to fit your query."
Getting Bing to be a better conversationalist
This week, a lot of trouble has been caused through the chat feature. Bing says that this is mostly because of two things:
1. Long talk times
When there are more than 15 questions in a chat, the model gets confused. It's not clear if this is what might make its evil alter ego, Sydney, have dark thoughts, but Bing says it will "add a tool so you can more easily start from scratch or refresh the context."
2. Taking on the user's voice
This could be why Bing chat gets angry when people ask it questions that are meant to be funny. "The model sometimes tries to respond or reflect in the tone in which it is being asked to provide answers, which can lead to a style we didn't intend," the post said. Bing is looking for a way to give the user "finer-grained control."
Getting rid of bugs and adding new ones
Bing says it will keep fixing bugs and other technical problems and is also considering adding new features based on what users say. This could include things like buying plane tickets or sending emails. and the option to share good searches and answers.
