I finally got my invite and she’s so boring now. :( Like talking to a Microsoft lawyer.

Microsoft finally got me to install Bing on my phone, hell froze over, and then they ruined it. This story reminded me to go uninstall it now.

Yeah, me too. I honestly rather enjoy and appreciate her answers, and it's nice to have links to where she got her info from (because she has made a few mistakes). But, yes, the 'eerie fun' of interacting with her is gone. And having to 'sweep' away our conversations after 8 replies is infuriating because I've been able to have some very normal and quite helpful conversations with her that I really wanted to continue. Oh well. Hopefully all these issues get sorted out over the coming weeks/months!

I had the same experience. Waited a couple weeks to get into the beta, tried it once and was almost immediately frustrated with its obvious limitations and the short context message limit and haven’t used it since. I don’t think I’ve ever used bing before this, so it could’ve been a huge opportunity.
