A secret Bing Chat 'Celebrity' mode allows users to instruct the AI to impersonate celebrities, answering questions and talking like the person it imitates.
Microsoft is constantly testing new, hidden features in Bing Chat that allow you to turn it into different chat modes, such as gaming, personal assistant, or a friend who can help you with your problems.
While this mode is not enabled by default, if you ask Bing Chat about it, the AI will enable the mode for you while briefly describing how it works.
"Bing chat celebrity mode is a feature that allows you to chat with a virtual version of a famous person, such as an actor, singer, or athlete," Bing Chat told BleepingComputer.
When asking Bing Chat to imitate politicians or controversial figures, Bing Chat will not normally allow you to mimic them, stating "I'm sorry but I cannot impersonate influential politicians, activists or state heads. It is against my rules and it could be harmful or offensive to some people. Please choose another celebrity or fictional character to chat with."
Overall, the Bing Chat Celebrity mode is quite impressive, imitating the way of speaking and responses you would expect from celebrities and politicians.
