Curious to see what all the hype is about with Bing’s chatbot? You no longer have to wait. Microsoft has largely opened the doors to everyone after an initial waiting period. While you’ll still have to technically join a waiting list to be admitted into the “new Bing,” the wait time has been reduced to virtually no time.
Bing was one of the first, and certainly highest-profile, introductions to generative A.I. for many consumers. And while the technology has been glitchy and sometimes prone to “hallucinations” (an A.I. term for when the chatbots go off the rails and become locked in to actions such as insisting inaccurate information is correct or trying to seduce users to leave their spouse), it has certainly caught the public’s attention.
