On his personal blog, Dmitri Brereton, a researcher in artificial intelligence and search engines, analyzed the nearly hour-long Bing AI launch video posted on YouTube last week.
Bing AI interface, currently in beta.
Specifically, with the question of buying a suitable vacuum cleaner for pets, Bing’s suggested list includes the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser model.
However, Brereton said he read thousands of reviews on Amazon and most commented that the machine operates quietly.
For questions related to nightlife travel, Bing AI recommends a 5-day trip in Mexico City, along with a list of luxury bars and restaurants.
When it comes to the financial statements of clothing retailer Gap, the initial information is quite accurate.
Brereton concluded that the most serious mistake of Bing AI, shown in the examples chosen by Microsoft itself, is the fabrication of information.
According to him, Bing AI is actually `no better than Google’s Bard` and both have limitations.
`We have reviewed the analysis and discovered major errors,` a Microsoft spokesperson admitted to Business Insider.
Previously, technology site The Verge also discovered that Bing AI answered incorrectly when asked about movies shown in a specific neighborhood in London.
Bing was announced by Microsoft on February 7.
Previously, Google’s Bard was also discovered to have incorrectly answered a knowledge question right in CEO Sundar Pichai’s introduction, causing Google to lose $100 billion in market capitalization.
