Microsoft rushed Bing AI co-pilot despite warnings from OpenAI: Report

American tech major Microsoft reportedly rushed GPT-4 integration into Bing search engine despite OpenAI warnings about the inconsistencies in the language model.

According to a news report in the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI warned Microsoft of the risks involved in rolling out a chatbot-based feature in the latter’s search engine based on its unreleased version of GPT-4.

Microsoft announced the Bing AI Copilot in February this year. The initial release of the company’s generative AI-powered search engine was marred with inaccuracies, including biased responses and incorrect information. In damage control mode, Microsoft limited Bing Chat responses.
