Poor phrasing on my part. I meant that it has a negative impact on public perception (well, except among those of us who find it fascinating!), not that media is presenting it inaccurately.

I mean bing has nothing to lose, its already crap in the public view. And the public is extremely excited about AI, so its all a positive in Microsoft's book and its refreshing to see them quickly acknowledge these issues instead of just dismissing them.
