- Bing chatbot now allows you to change the response style.
- You can choose from three options, including Creative, Balanced, or Precise.
- However, depending on the tone, the chatbot may produce less accurate responses.
As part of its proactive updates to Bing Chat before it is made publicly available, Microsoft is now exploring a feature that would allow users to alter the tone of responses. You can select a new discussion style setting to switch the tone to Creative, Balanced, or Precise the next time you’re on the Chat page if you’ve already signed up to use the new Bing.
Shortly after testers began reporting weird and wrong answers with contentious tones and other peculiar behaviors, the new options were made available. The company promptly responded to the feedback, stating that the AI model may produce undesirable behaviors after an extended session. They therefore restricted the number of chat turns each session to five and increased the daily total to fifty. It soon raised the number of turns to six and sixty chats daily.
The business is currently experimenting with ways to alter the tone of responses in light of those limits. Depending on the circumstances, these new options are meant to try to balance the experience. The creative tone, for instance, will elicit more imaginative and playful answers. However, the chatbot could give fewer accurate responses if the tone (style) is changed to one that is more creative.
The Bing AI chatbot can react more impartially—that is, it will attempt to avoid taking sides on a particular issue—by using a balanced tone.
Lastly, the option that produces the most accurate response with more facts will be the Precise tone.
Using the choices at the top of the Chat page, you can change the tones at any moment. Alternatively, based on your preferences and the kind of response you’re looking for, you can always use the chatbot’s Change mode to alter the tone to Creative, Balanced, or Precise. Since you can only ask six questions at a time, it’s also a good idea to click the broom icon to start a new conversation if you want to change the tone.
Alongside these modifications, Microsoft is also developing an upgrade to enhance answer quality by lowering the number of text analysis errors and clutter summarizations. A new tagging mechanism will also be included in the upgrade to assist clear up lengthier exchanges with the Bing AI.
A preview of the response tones is currently accessible, and the quality update is anticipated to be released shortly.
