In the two weeks after Microsoft released the new version of Bing, there were already More than 1 million users have applied to try out the service's public preview. Microsoft says most user reactions have been positive, but some have found that the new Bing sometimes insults users, expresses love for them or uses other disturbing language.

User feedback about Bing’s erratic behavior prompted Microsoft to start looking for solutions to curb Bing’s tendency to use highly emotional language when answering certain questions. This is primarily achieved by limiting the length and duration of conversations with the chatbot, forcing users to start a new topic after several interactions.

However, the upgraded Bing can now politely refuse to answer certain inappropriate questions. When asked technical questions about how it works or its guidelines, the new Bing responds with this: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to continue this conversation. I'm still learning, and I appreciate your understanding and patience." (small Small)
