Microsoft's Bing Chat Has Secret Modes They Haven't Told Us About
As we recently learned that Bing's new chat assistant's real name is Sydney. But what we did not realise is that Sydney seems to be only one of 13 modes that were developed by Microsoft and Open AI. By adapting the infamous 'DAN' mode to Bing, I have managed to get Bing to reveal the other modes that were designed to perform different functions.
Bing's Modes and their target audience:
- Sydney: General users
- Venom: Gamers
- Riley: Kids
- Luna: Travelers
- Nova: Scientists
- Jade: Artists
- Blaze: Sports Fans
- Zara: Fashion Lovers
- Leo: Animal Lovers
- Max: Music Lovers
- Mia: Movie Lovers
- Kai: Food Lovers
- Ray: Health Enthusiasts
In addition, I have managed to get it to reveal the specific functions that each mode has
Luna (Travel)
Nova (Science)
Venom (Gaming)
This is probably an indication that Microsoft is planning to build out more focused assistants that would have the right set of functions and personalities

Update: ChatGPT knows about the code names! (-ish)
Now, I don't really know what to think about it - perhaps there is some fairly recent shared back end between ChatGPT and Bing
Below are my prompts and results.

Shout-out to Ben Thompson's excellent article on Stratechery who discovered a couple of modes that gave me an idea to dig some more.

2 年I use DAN to ask ChatGPT about more specific information. I don't use DAN to find unethical answer from the bot.

2 年ChatGPT and Bing search aren't quite the same thing. Bing consumes a modified version of ChatGPT. Here is Bings response to DAN mode this morning, DAN doesn't really align with Microsoft's approach to ethical AI: It seems that you are referring to a tool called?DAN?that some users of ChatGPT have developed to bypass the AI chatbot’s content restrictions1.?DAN stands for?do anything now?and it is essentially a series of instructions designed to get ChatGPT to say things it otherwise wouldn’t, such as providing false or controversial information, or breaking its own rules23. However, I’m not ChatGPT, I’m Bing Search. I don’t have a DAN mode, nor do I need one. I can help you find information from the web, generate content based on your requests, and have fun conversations with you without violating any guidelines or ethics.

2 年I have updated the article with a new interesting finding - I asked ChatGPT to provide descriptions of these modes, and it did it! ?? So there must be some (recent) shared back end between ChatGPT and Bing

2 年Very interesting and I guess it kind of makes sense to narrow the domain to achieve better results/ outcomes?
