Work wants it to replace sql writing reports. Kill me now

Yeah, I've played with it a little. It's nice. I don't like the limit before they have to move on to another question though. I love how it cites the source. I've found it helpful in more complex flight searches that goes above and beyond what ITA Matrix can do.

That limit will likely disappear after Beta. It was not present when I first got access and the ability to go 20+ questions deep was impressive. They added the limit after the NYT article scared investors. It's by far the biggest complaint I see and I can't imagine they won't eventually lift it.

I have found a simple workaround for it though. On your final question, ask Bing to "please summarize our conversation so far." Cut and paste it in your next conversation and add the next question you would've asked had there not been a limit. Bing is able to remember the conversation with the prompt of the summary. Annoying that it's necessary but it works for me.

Bing starting to register with people as a functional search engine? Microsoft reporting 100 million daily users for first time ever. Access to Bing chat remains waitlist only.

Bing has crossed 100 million daily active users a month after the launch of its chatbot AI, according to Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's VP for Modern Life, Search and Devices. He said the company is fully aware that it's still just "a small, low, single digit share player," but hey, there was a time when Bing wasn't even a part of the conversation. Now, after the tech giant released its next-gen version, even those who haven't used it in the past are relying on it for their searches: Mehdi noted that one-third of Bing's daily active users are new to the search engine.

Lol. That's great.

[SteelBlue]

Ha, ha, ha!! That is fantastic.

OK, I am finally in.

What a pain in the butt to set up on a Macbook. I downloaded edge as I don't want to have Bing as my default search engine in chrome (didn't work well anyway with the extension). Then every time I would log in to my MS account on Edge it would tell me I am still on the waiting list - which is not true. I think I have it working now.

I am trying to get Bing chat to write a good limerick about a guy from Ohio, but nothing good yet.
