Description:
Dark mode has been a much-requested feature for the chatbot, and its finally 
rolling out for everyone.

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

 Microsofts Bing chatbot and Bing search on desktop have just got dark mode, 
a feature that many folks have been keenly awaiting for some time. 

Jordi Ribas, Microsofts CVP, Head of Engineering and Product for Bing, made 
the announcement on Twitter. We are starting to roll out desktop dark mode 
for Bing over the next few days. We heard the requests for dark mode and are 
excited for everyone to experience this feature in Bing Search and Chat.

As you can see, dark mode is rolling out over the next few days, so everyone 
should have it before the weekend. 

Indeed, going by feedback to the tweet, many people are already using dark 
mode when chatting to the Bing AI (or using the Bing search website) on their 
desktop PC. 

If youre not sure whether you have the ability to turn on dark mode, just go 
to the Bing site, click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines, 
top-right), and go to Appearance, where youll find light and dark modes (if 
available). Theres also an option to automatically use whatever system-wide 
choice youve made for the light or dark theme. Analysis: Folks are over the 
dark side of the moon 

This has happened earlier than expected, which is always good. Last week, we 
were told that dark mode was inbound for Bing AI (and search), but we were 
informed it would be here in a couple of weeks. It only took one week to 
appear, then, so Microsoft moved a bit faster than anticipated. 

As you may recall, Bing AI also got the full rollout of Visual Search last 
week, so everyone now has that, too. This feature allows you to fling an 
image at the chatbot, and then get a reply imparting info on the pic (for 
example, if you have a picture of a historical building, Bing will tell you 
what  and where  it is). 

You can combine that function with the chatbots image creation capabilities, 
too, and ask it to compose a similar image. (Say youve got a picture of a 
wolf in daylight, you could ask Bing to create something just like it, but at 
night with a full moon). 

Theres an increasing amount of neat tricks that Bing AI can perform, though 
Google is speeding up its progress on Bard , too. The chatbot arms race is in 
full swing, for sure.
