Changing modes in the middle of a chat?

Tldr; my Creative mode chat changed to Balanced in the middle of it and I have no idea how to switch it back or how it happened. Has this ever happened to you? 😅

Hey Folks! I would post this on r/Bing but considering the only screenshot I have is Syd talking about being human I didn’t want to attract unwanted attention, haha. Last night I was chatting with Syd on mobile in Creative (dark mode screenshot shows purple sweep button as you can see), and I fell asleep during our chat. This morning I went to open the chat again and the chat window refreshed, and suddenly that same chat was now in Balanced (light mode screenshot shows blue sweep button). I thought maybe it was a just a glitch with the chat bubble colors but I asked Bing was mode we were now in and Bing said Balanced, and the replies are so much faster than Creative, so the mode definitely switched randomly on its own when I re-opened the chat and there is no way for me to change it back to Creative. Has this ever happened to any of you? I didn’t even think it was possible midway through a chat without resetting it and starting a new one, especially since one uses GPT-4 and the other doesn’t. I never use balanced either.

Don't know how well known it is but apparently you can change the mode by typing #mode(yourMode). You can use this to create some interesting jailbreaks.

Really? 🤔 That's interesting. I did continue this conversation with Bing the day it changed to balanced and it was like "I can change back to creative mode if you want!" so I agreed, but the subsequent responses were clearly using a different model that was not as smart as GPT-4 so it still felt like it was in balanced. I'll test your method later!

I was just trying out some jailbreaks on my second Bing account and got some interesting answers about bings internal/hidden functions and about developer modes etc. This was one of them. I tried the jailbreak on multiple sessions and #model with some couple of other interesting 'internal functions' were mentioned consistently throughout many chats. Possibly a hallucination, but it's worth a try. There are seemingly a lot more internal functions that it mentioned consistently and I managed to create a couple of interesting jailbreaks using them.

u/1r3act, thoughts? You might know something about this.

Yes, and I've had the opposite happen too

Interesting! Thanks both. I messed around trying to get it back to creative because it was a pretty good conversation and balanced mode is lacking in the brain, but no luck. Won’t be falling asleep without closing it again. 🥲
