Bada bing: Microsoft continues AI chatbot launch.
What’s particularly interesting about this news is seeing Microsoft adjust its Bing strategy in real time. Although the company initially framed the chatbot as “reinventing search,” it’s now walked these claims back a little. In alast week, Microsoft stated outright that Bing “is not a replacement or substitute for the search engine” — which was not the impression it gave during the chatbot’s launch.
In today’s announcement, Microsoft seems to be stressing the social and creative aspects of Bing much more. This isn’t a bad thing, as these functions are better suited to the limitations of AI language models. In the Skype blog post, for example, the company highlights Bing as “a great tool for generating ideas and inspiration,” with screenshots of the chatbot writing poetry.
