Description:
As Bing Chat opens up, Microsoft will be scaling back some basic features 
like forcing short conversations with the AI.

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

Following up on recent teases , Microsoft is expanding browser support for 
Bing AI, giving Google Chrome and Safari access to the chatbot  with some 
limitations. The third-party experience wont be the same as Bing Chat on 
Microsoft Edge . 

In a recent report, Windows Latest states the character count for the AI 
prompts have been cut in half, from 4,000 on Edge to now 2,000 on Chrome. 
Conversations with the chatbot will be considerably shorter as the 
third-party version will only allow you to engage in five messages with the 
AI before resetting everything. The normal amount is 30. Also, Bing will push 
you to download Edge if you havent done so already on your Chromebook . If 
you already have the browser, choosing the download option simply launches 
it. 

In addition to the roll out, Microsoft is adding a new dark mode option for 
the chatbot. The theme will match your system preferences by default, but you 
can manually change them yourself in the Settings menu. Future updates 

Its unknown if Bing Chat on Safari will be exactly the same. Microsoft has 
yet to make an official announcement regarding the patch outside of a small 
notice, so we cant say for sure if any tweaks are being made. We reached out 
to the tech giant for clarification as well if it has plans to expand Bing AI 
access to other browsers, namely Firefox . This story will be updated if we 
hear back. 

As for the future of the AI, it looks like Microsoft is putting everything in 
the hands of people. Another Windows Latest report claims the company has 
been sending out feedback forms to various users on mobile asking what 
features they would like to see. Apparently, one of the new changes will see 
Bing recommend certain AI apps or tools for people to try out. 

Another potential upgrade could see the AI mimic the personalities of famous 
people like billionaire Elon Musk. Microsoft reportedly claims mimicking 
people will result in a more engaging experience. 

Well let you know if Bing undergoes any personality changes. So far, its the 
same artificial intelligence we all know. Until then, check out TechRadars
