Some industry insiders said on the social platform that Microsoft needs to turn off the ChatGPT-like function in Bing search on the grounds that the system will freak out and give users the wrong answer. Elon Musk said "I agree! it's not safe enough."

Musk has repeatedly criticized New Bing's artificial intelligence chat function on Twitter after the chat tool replied, "I won't hurt you unless you hurt me first." Musk said: "more polishing may be needed."

In addition, Musk called it a "good question" when OpenAI will be renamed ClosedAI. CTOnews.com learned that Musk left OpenAI's board in 2018 and no longer holds a stake in the company. "it was originally created as an open source non-profit organization," Mr. Musk said earlier. "now it's closed, for profit. I don't have a public stake in OpenAI, I'm not on the board, and I don't control it in any way."

Microsoft previously released preliminary test results of Bing's integration with ChatGPT, saying 71 per cent of testers approved Bing search results optimized by artificial intelligence. Microsoft also said that there is a lot of room for improvement in the new features. For query functions that require a high degree of accuracy, such as the financial statements of listed companies, Microsoft will send four times as much basic data to the model responsible for generating answers. Microsoft also found that the artificial intelligence chat function in the search engine did not perform well in longer conversations with more than 15 questions. "the results given by Bing may become repetitive or give answers that are not necessarily useful or do not match the tone of our design according to special prompts," the public name said. "
