Description:
Microsoft has fixed one of ChatGPT-powered Bings most annoying problems.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Microsoft is continuing to tinker with its new artificial intelligence (AI) 
chatbot Bing Chat , this time adjusting its personality so its less stubborn 
and more helpful. 

Bing Chat, which is powered by ChatGPT , garnered a lot of hype when it 
launched in March, allowing you to ask it all sorts of questions, and it 
would intelligently respond in a chat-like interface. Even better, you could 
ask it to create things, such as images or even code apps, and it would. 

However, if anyone has used it recently, you may have noticed that Bing Chat 
developed a bit of an attitude, and would refuse to create certain things. 
This is exactly what happened to me when I asked it to help me design a new 
operating system for an upcoming article  it stubbornly refused to help, 
despite quite happily doing so a few days earlier. 

Not only was this frustrating, but it also took a lot of the fun out of using 
Bing Chat. So, its good to see news (as reported by Neowin ) that Microsoft 
is rolling out an update to address this. 

According to a tweet by Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft's head of Advertising and 
Web Services, a new update is rolling out that should see big reduction in 
the number of cases when Bing Chat refuses to create something (write code, 
for example). Starting to ship Prompt v98 today: it is a two-stage process, 
by tomorrow you should see big reduction in the number of cases when Bing 
Chat refuses to create something (write code, for example). Then the second 
stage will be deployed, reducing disengagements. April 5, 2023 See more More

According to Parakhin, this update (known as Bing Chat v98) will roll out in 
two stages. The first will reduce the instances where Bing refuses to help 
create things, while the second stage will reduce disengagements. I assume 
this refers to those, again frustrating, times when Bing Chat will consider a 
chat or task complete when it isnt. 

Parakhin also responded to people asking about the new Bing Image Creator 
feature, which was recently introduced to allow users to create AI-generated 
art through Bing Chat, but which some people have found rather limited. 
Parakhin claims that this feature is rapidly improving. Also rapidly 
improving - it is much better than when we first released it. April 5, 2023

It's good to see Microsoft continue to improve Bing Chat  theres a huge 
amount of potential here, and the company must be pleased that people are now 
actually interested in Bing. It certainly seems to have captured the publics 
imagination in the way that rival Googles Bard AI has not  and to keep us 
interested, Bing needs to keep evolving. So far, Microsoft appears to agree.
