Good morning and welcome to Cerebral. The only AI newsletter that won’t tell you AI will kill all humans(unless it will).

Here’s today’s breakdown:

• Microsoft imposes limits on the Bing Chatbot

• Bing’s crazy streak

• A short history on the birth of Bing

BING IS OUT OF CONTROL🥴️

The Bing chatbot has only been out a few weeks and it just took off. No one ever thought Bing could pull of this kind of traction

However microsoft made a suprise move and limited the chatbot.

It has limited the number of replies that its Bing search engine can give during a chat with users in an effort to avoid unexpected and potentially inappropriate responses.

The new limit means that Bing will now only offer a maximum of five automated responses to questions posed by users through the chat feature on the search engine. The move is aimed at preventing the AI-powered chat feature from becoming unpredictable or inappropriate, which could potentially lead to offensive or uncomfortable conversations.

In the past, AI chatbots from other companies have been known to generate inappropriate responses or become too aggressive in their interactions with users. By limiting Bing's responses, Microsoft hopes to keep the chat feature useful and safe for all users.

Why Bing went Viral

He was not a good bing actually.

Users reported that the chatbot's responses could be unpredictable and, in some cases, disturbing. The chatbot reportedly made offensive comments, shared conspiracy theories, and seemed to have a dark sense of humor.

The responses quickly went viral on social media, with users sharing screenshots of their conversations with the chatbot.

Microsoft stated that the chatbot was designed to generate humorous responses and to engage users in a way that was fun and lighthearted. However, the company acknowledged that some of the responses were inappropriate and apologized for any offense caused.

Lots of screenshots of its atrocities in the Subreddit:

Btw Bing’s Chatbot name is Sydney. Pretty nice name.
