In a statement released by Microsoft, the tech giant admitted that "very long chat sessions can confuse the model on what questions it is answering".

To work on this, the tech giant is considering adding a tool that can more easily refresh the context or allow the user to start a new conversation altogether.

There were also some comments regarding the tone of the model. Reasoning to that, Microsoft added, "The model at times tries to respond or reflect in the tone in which it is being asked to provide responses that can lead to a style we didn't intend."

As per Microsoft, the team is consistently working on improving the AI-powered Bing. The company tests the model in 169 countries to get the best feedback.
