Microsoft will start testing Bing Chat tones, enabling users to switch between receiving answers that are either more creative or more focused on their queries.
We are "Going to begin testing an additional option that lets you choose the tone of the Chat from more Precise - which will focus on shorter, more search focused answers - to Balanced, to more Creative - which gives you longer and more chatty answers," the Bing Team said.
Microsoft also says chat limits that were introduced on Friday to address Bing Chat's confusing and, at times, aggressive replies have now been expanded to allow for a more "Natural daily use of Bing.".
Microsoft announced Bing Chat, the new version of its Bing search engine powered by a next-generation OpenAI language model, on February 7, when it also launched a version of its new Edge web browser with two new features named 'chat' and 'compose' available in the sidebar.
As BleepingComputer reported last week, the Bing AI chat also comes with secret chat modes that allow switching between a personal assistant, a friend to help with your problems, a game mode to play games with Bing, and the default Bing Search mode.
They clearly show that the company plans to do much more with Bing Chat than just a simple chat service for the Bing search engine.
