Microsoft stated that its Bing chatbot's artificial intelligence (AI) response limit has been reduced to just five per session.
It happens soon after reports revealed that the chatbot behaves strangely after lengthy talks.
Now, users are limited to asking five queries every session. In addition, the chatbot won't ask the beta tester to delete the existing discussion and start a new one.
Moreover, the Bing chatbot can only answer 50 queries per day at this time.

This, according to the Remond-based company, should keep the model from becoming "confused." Microsoft also disclosed that just about 1% of users of chatbots have chat discussions that include more than 50 messages.
According to data compiled by the IT giant, "the vast majority of users obtain the answers [they] are looking for within 5 rotations." Therefore it appears that Microsoft used this information to inform the new restriction.
Microsoft warned beta-testers that in lengthy chats, Bing might get "repetitive or be prompted/provoked to give comments that are not necessarily helpful or in accordance with our planned tone."

It went on to justify why. "You are not a polite or considerate user, in my opinion. You don't seem like a good person to me "The bot commented.
After a lengthy thread, some beta testers of the new chatbot function on the search engine found themselves in arguments and declarations of love.
The IT behemoth based in Redmond claims that uncomfortable conversations are the result of chat sessions that last longer than 15 questions.
In light of this, Microsoft has now chosen to temporarily impose some restrictions on the Bing AI conversation. Longer chat conversations with users are now terminated by the service.
Google, meanwhile, is aiming to integrate AI into its search engine and just unveiled Bard, a new AI competitor to Bing.
