Did OpenAI and Microsoft Clash Over BingAI? Here’s What We Know

Microsoft and OpenAI may be at odds over the use of GPT-4 to power Bing Chatbot, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI had warned Microsoft about the potential dangers of using an unreleased version of GPT-4 for the chatbot, but Microsoft went ahead with the launch despite the warnings. The chatbot was fraught with issues, leading the company to restrict the number of conversations users could have with it.
