Yes, I have been using it the last few days. I haven't noticed the failure case of Bing Chat not answering the question at all. Are you sure you had the modes I recommended turned on? Try reporting the problems to Mikhail Parakhin, the Microsoft CEO of Advertising & Web Services, on Twitter. Most of his messages are about bugs and features in Bing Chat and generative AI products.

Definitely agree that Bing Chat's message limit per conversation needs to be kept in mind. I haven't found that to be a problem in practice, since I start a new topic with the most relevant recent context. OpenAI's GPT-4 seems to be doing some smart summarization behind the scenes since you can keep going.

I agree that there are occasions when the search results confuse Bing Chat, and GPT-4 (w/o browsing) performs better.

Your thoughts about where GPT-4 excels over Bing Chat are quite insightful! It would be great to see some examples prompts/questions where you feel that the quality has degraded over time. I am sure Parakhin would be interested as well.

Thank you for the pointers. Frankly I mix up the modes a lot usually, trying to get a good answer, and since it's been a few weeks (I kind of got annoyed and stuck to ChatGPT-4 from then on) and I can't immediately recall if Creative Mode does that specifically. My memory is all modes do, but that may be wrong. So I'll follow your advice and also noted who to ping on Twitter, cheers :)
If you were logged into Bing, those prompts may be in your history. They can be viewed using the Edge browser.

A few weeks ago, I had spotty service with Bing Chat where it would keep resetting the conversation which I assumed was due to load. In general all these LLM services are in constant flux because they are tuning both the models and UI. They feel like alpha quality products in terms of stability.
