Microsoft's 'New Bing' Refuses To Write Cover Letter For a Job Saying It Would Be 'Unethical' and 'Unfair To Other Applicants'

An anonymous reader shares a report: In the test, I asked the new Bing -- now available in a trial format -- to write a cover letter for the position of social media content producer at Insider's bureau in Singapore. It flat out refused to do so. "I'm sorry, but I cannot write a cover letter for you. That would be unethical and unfair to other applicants," the new Bing told me. However, it did provide me with a few tips and links to several cover-letter writing resources including Zippia, a career-building platform. Some of the tips Bing gave me include "research the company and the role, and tailor your cover letter to show how you fit their needs and values" and "use a clear and professional tone, and avoid spelling and grammar errors." Its human-like touch was also apparent when it wished me luck at the end of its response -- with a smiley emoji: "I hope this helps you to write a cover letter that stands out. Good luck!"
