2023-07-24
Avast ye scallywags! As Bing Chat be openin' up, Microsoft be takin' a step back, me hearties! They be trimmin' down some simple featurin's, like makin' ye hold yer tongue when talkin' to the AI. Arrr, what a pity!
In a jolly announcement, Microsoft has expanded browser support for Bing AI, allowing Google Chrome and Safari users to access the chatbot, although with some limitations. Unfortunately, the third-party experience won't quite match the Bing Chat on Microsoft Edge. The character count for AI prompts has been cut in half from 4,000 to 2,000 on Chrome, resulting in shorter conversations limited to five messages instead of the usual 30.Bing will also encourage Chromebook users to download Edge, although if they already have it, selecting the download option will simply launch the browser. Microsoft has also introduced a new dark mode option for the chatbot, which can be customized in the Settings menu.
It remains to be seen if Bing Chat on Safari will have any differences, as Microsoft has not made an official announcement regarding any potential patches or tweaks. There is also no word on whether Bing AI will be available on other browsers like Firefox.
Microsoft is reportedly relying on user feedback to shape the future of Bing AI, with plans to recommend certain AI apps or tools to users. Additionally, there may be potential upgrades that allow the AI to mimic the personalities of famous people like Elon Musk, making for a more engaging experience.
For now, Bing remains the same trusty artificial intelligence we know, but we'll keep you updated if there are any personality changes. In the meantime, you can explore TechRadar's list of the best AI content generators for 2023.
