Description:
You can use Bing AI without a Microsoft account now, but you wont get long 
with the chatbot.

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

 Microsofts Bing chatbot is now available to use without signing into a 
Microsoft account, youll doubtless be pleased to hear. 

This means that anyone can now jump on and start quizzing the ChatGPT-powered 
AI on whatever topic is on their mind, but theres a caveat. As some of you 
have noticed, weve started rolling out unauthenticated chat access on Bing. 
Seeing only 5 chat turns per session? Sign in to have longer conversations.

 Windows Central spotted the tweet from Michael Schechter, VP of Search 
Growth and Distribution (Bing) at Microsoft, announcing that the Bing AI now 
offers unauthenticated chat access. 

However, while you wont have to sign in to use the AI, youll be limited to 
pretty short conversations  just five queries in a session. Those signed in 
get 20 queries per conversation. 

In other Bing AI news, a further step forward for the chatbot is the addition 
of a share button and more export options, as well as an improved copy and 
paste experience, useful little touches (as Neowin flagged up). We recently 
upgraded Bing Chat with export and share features. Weve also improved the 
copy and paste experience. Below is an example of the tool tip which includes 
copy, download and share with download to PDF in action. Stay tuned for more 
export options. pic.twitter.com/vEgaDY4dqb May 17, 2023 See more Analysis: 
Bringing Bing to everyone faster 

Remember when Bing AI was first launched? The chatbot got caught up in all 
sorts of controversial weirdness as a result of going off the rails in long 
chat sessions, leading Microsoft to impose strict limits on session length to 
tackle that particular problem. 

That limit was five queries per session  exactly what unauthenticated users 
are getting now. In other words, its the bare minimum. (Well, clearly its the 
bare minimum  any lower than five would leave little or no opportunity to 
explore any topic further). 

Still, the absolute minimum is very much better than nothing, so were glad to 
see Microsoft take this route. It makes for a convenient way for those who 
havent tried out the Bing AI yet to do so, and of course, that should mean 
extra traffic for Microsoft, too. 

Doubtless Microsoft hopes that by giving folks a taster of Bing, itll impress 
them enough to sign in for the full lengthier chat experience.
