Searching for “Bing” is fine, but wait a while with AI chat… Recommended tricks for businesses – Yajima no Mori – Window Forest

Bing AI chat is very convenient, but on the other hand, there are concerns about its harmful effects. There are many things, such as telling an occasional plausible lie or giving an inappropriate answer, but among them, information leakage is perhaps the biggest concern of company executives and managers. Bing AI chat is only for asking “general questions”, and if you want to actively use it in your business, you can either develop an AI chat service in your tenant, or use the company’s service designed for this. It is considered.

However, whichever method is taken, it is also true that creating a policy and building an environment takes time. In the meantime, there may be a need to temporarily block Bing chat across the board. — But do not worry. As expected from Microsoft, the neighborhood appears to be tight and countermeasures are set up properly. The method is rather simple, just set “www.bing.com” to “nochat.bing.com”.

In the scenario where the company allows the use of Bing but does not want to use Bing Chat,https://t.co/7M1LJyuGiotohttps://t.co/rIp0h0fsmRAll you have to do is specify the name resolution so that it maps to.

Originally, it would be nice to be able to map at the network level, but if that’s hard or you just want to try it on hand, edit the hosts file. Just late last year, PowerToys introduced a host editing tool, so it’s easy to do.

First, open Command Prompt and enter the following command to find out the IP address of “nochat.bing.com”.

Find the IP address of “nochat.bing.com”

Next, launch “Host File Editor” from “PowerToys”. Create an entry like this: Note that if you don’t specify “edgeservices.bing.com” as the host in addition to “www.bing.com”, you will be able to access the “Bing” chat from the sidebar.

• Title: The IP address of “nochat.bing.com” obtained earlier
• hosts：www.bing.com edgeservices.bing.com
• comment: Everything is fine as long as it is easy to understand

Start “Host File Editor” in “PowerToys”

Create a new entry

before rewriting the host file

After the host file is rewritten (because the rewrite is not reflected immediately, please note that it is not switched immediately with the ON/OFF switch)

After successful completion, the chat should disappear from “www.bing.com”.

In addition, there is also “strict.bing.com” with safe search enabled and “nochatstrict.bing.com” with no chat and safe search enabled. If you’re having trouble finding raunchy photos on Bing during your break time, you might want to give it a try.
