Bada bing: Microsoft continues AI chatbot launch.

What’s particularly interesting about this news is seeing Microsoft adjust its Bing strategy in real time. Although the company initially framed the chatbot as “reinventing search,” it’s now walked these claims back a little. In alast week, Microsoft stated outright that Bing “is not a replacement or substitute for the search engine” — which was not the impression it gave during the chatbot’s launch.

In today’s announcement, Microsoft seems to be stressing the social and creative aspects of Bing much more. This isn’t a bad thing, as these functions are better suited to the limitations of AI language models. In the Skype blog post, for example, the company highlights Bing as “a great tool for generating ideas and inspiration,” with screenshots of the chatbot writing poetry.

I feel like Bing can surprise a lot of people in the long run...

You omitted a key fact and requirement in your headline. You can only use the chat mode once you are accepted. You write that in the text but not in your lead. Not good.

But, as signaled by its partnership with OpenAI and its challenge to Google’s search supremacy, it has gone back on the offense. The about face was, at its core, a cultural shift, driven by CEO Satya Nadella. He drove this by inviting an existential moment when he stepped into the job, reconsidering the company’s purpose. Then, he laid out strategic changes that would enable the company to think more like a startup, and made business decisions that committed the company to this new direction.
