Users of Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbot recently discovered that the application has an incognito mode that allows them to impersonate celebrities, politicians, and even fictional characters.
Celebrity Mode, first reported by beep computer It’s part of a series of incognito modes users can access in Bing AI this past week. To activate this feature, type “Bing Celebrity Mode” or ask the chatbot to impersonate a celebrity.
Celebrity Mode lets you have friendly conversations, ask questions, and even pester your favorite stars.
There are still a few things that bother me about this mode. Gizmodo first reported When Bing was asked to impersonate Andrew Tate, A chatbot threw out misogynistic rants — using alternate modes raises concerns that users could jump over Bing’s safety guardrails.
(This reporter also tried talking to AI Tate, but when he started spewing offensive answers, the chatbot stopped halfway through, deleting the text and replacing it with a message that he didn’t answer the question.) I know there is.)
Chatbots also allow interesting conversations with celebrities. Some spoofs were far better than others, but Bing AI couldn’t quite get rid of the robot tendencies. I’ve found that setting the chatbot to a “more creative” conversation mode yields better answers.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to the Insider’s request for comment.
