San Francisco, NFAPost: Microsoft has now again increased AI-powered Bing Chat’s turn limit to 30 chats per session and 300 chats per day.
“Good news, we’ve increased Bing Chat turn limits again to 30 per conversation and 300 per day,” Microsoft CVP of Search & AI, Jordi Ribas tweeted on Thursday.
Over the past couple of months, the tech giant has gradually increased the chatbot’s limit to enhance its usability. According to Windows Central, while debuting the tool, the company had not placed any limits on the tool.
However, this was short-lived after a number of users began filing reports citing instances in which the tool provided incorrect responses or was outright rude.
This announcement comes nearly a month after Microsoft released Bing Chat as an open preview for everyone to try. Microsoft is likely to raise this limit in the near future in order to improve the chatbot’s user experience.
In March, Microsoft added “AI-generated stories” for some user searches on its Bing search engine, as it adds more GPT-driven features to its products.
According to the company, Bing will let users craft AI-generated stories that will provide them with multiple ways to consume “bite-sized information through text, images, video, and audio”.
The stories are similar to the ones users see onplatforms like Instagram or Snapchat.
Microsoft Windows 11 gets new phone photos feature in File Explorer
Microsoft has released a new Windows 11 dev build that allows Insiders to view their phone’s camera roll in the File Explorer Gallery.
After installing the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build, users can add photos from their phone by clicking a new button added to the File Explorer’s command bar.
“There is a new button in the Command Bar titled ‘Add Phone Photos’ that will help with setting up your PC to be ready to show these photos in Gallery,” Microsoft said in a blogpost.
“Clicking this button today will open a URL with a QR code that you can scan with your phone to get started,” it added.
Moreover, in the new preview build, the company has introduced new natural voices in Spanish (Spain and Mexico) that allow Narrator users to comfortably browse the web, read and write mail, and do more.
Natural Narrator voices use modern, on-device text-to-speech and once downloaded are supported without an internet connection, the company said.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced that it will no longer support its virtual assistant Cortana in Windows as a standalone app, starting in late 2023.
This change will only affect Cortana in Windows and will continue to be available in Outlook mobile, Teams mobile, Microsoft Teams display, and Microsoft Teams rooms, the tech giant stated on a support page.
