Bing was also under discussions at the first "Kohtaamisia tekoälyn äärellä - Ihmetellään yhdessä"
-event on 28 11.2023: https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/kohtaamisia-tekoalyn-aarella-ihmetellaan-yhdessa. There, the issue of this Digipedavink was raised:
How to feed Bing a longer text for processing?
The Tip
You can only copy/paste a text of 4000 characters into the Bing Chat chat/prompt window on the right side of the Edge browser, but if you want to use an article of e.g. 60 pages in length as Bing Chat material, you can do it as follows:
You need an article etc. in pdf-format (e.g. Word can save in pdf-format).
Open the Edge browser and Copilot (=Bing Chat) from the icon in the top right corner of the browser.
Note: If you are logged into your university account, you will use the more secure Enterprise version.Open the article or similar pdf-text in your browser, by dragging (drag & drop) the file to the browser address bar, i.e. where you usually type the url. -> The text will open in your browser.
Write a prompt in Bing Chat to ask the AI to summarise the PDF file.
It should be specific, for example "summarize this PDF" or "what are the most important points of this PDF". Bing AI will read the PDF and give you a summary or list of its contents.
Note: The magic word in the Bing prompt is "this PDF" or "the PDF text on this page",
so Bing will only "read" the text from the browser, and not start hallucinating its own.
You can use any of your Bing prompt tricks when you remember to "aim" it at the text in question.
The English prompt works better. Bing translates prompts into English anyway. Also remember to start a new topic in the new Bing chat, so that the answers don't get mixed up with the previous prompts.
Don't forget to check! - AI responses may contain errors and hallucinations.
