Microsoft releases a new version of Bing that includes ChatGPT.

 Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, remarked today that "search is in a new era." Microsoft has been attempting to get you to adopt Bing for the past 13 years, but you have refused, thus its market share in the world is still in the low single digits. The business is currently making every attempt to better compete with Google. Microsoft said today at a press conference in Redmond, Washington, that it has included OpenAI's GPT-4 model into Bing, giving users of the search engine a ChatGPT-like experience.

A new version of the company's Edge browser is also being released today, and the sidebar now includes these new AI features.

Now available on Bing, the new experience is still relatively constrained. Get on the waitlist if you want the full experience.

As anticipated, the new Bing now has the ability to start a chat in its toolbar, which takes you to a conversational experience similar to ChatGPT. One important thing to keep in mind is that while Bing's version is far more current and can handle queries pertaining to much more recent events, OpenAI's ChatGPT bot was trained on data that only covers through 2021. (think today, not 2021).

The team aims to adhere to its AI Principles, as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella emphasised, and acknowledged that, as with any new technology, it's necessary to be aware of any potential drawbacks. It's important to be aware of any new technology's unforeseen implications, he continued. Microsoft, he said, wants to deploy technology that boosts human productivity and is consistent with human values.

Nadella emphasised that a technology like this has the ability to change the web and stated that he thinks it will "pretty much every software category" in a positive way. In his opinion, an agent will mediate every computer contact in the future. Search is the initial phase of this, at least for Microsoft.

Today's search engines still perform admirably for informational inquiries that ask for fundamental facts as well as navigational queries, as Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi pointed out. However, current search engines fall short for more difficult inquiries, which account for 50% of all queries nowadays ("Can you recommend a five-day itinerary for Mexico city?").

Microsoft will provide these GPT-based results for the new Bing experiences in a box on the right side of the search results page. When you look up information that Bing knows the answer to, these will appear.

For queries that are a little more ambiguous and for which there isn't a clear solution, there is additionally the more ChatGPT-like experience. The only other significant difference that stands out right away is that Bing will occasionally try to prompt you with queries of its own and provide suggestions for replies. Comparing Microsoft's model to what ChatGPT now provides, it is obvious that it is much more modern. This includes information on prices, for instance, or the capability of using recent data for travel advice and itineraries. It will also gladly send you an email so you may share this schedule with your family.Bing cites its sources and provides links to them in a "learn more" section at the conclusion of its replies, which is another crucial characteristic that I believe will be included in the majority of these tools. A feedback option will be available for each outcome.

It's also important to note that the outdated, link-focused version of Bing won't be discontinued. It is still functionally equivalent to previously, but with AI enhancements.

Microsoft emphasised that it is utilising a new version of GPT that can offer more pertinent solutions, annotate these solutions, and provide results that are current, all while offering a safer user experience. The Prometheus model is what it is called. Microsoft is simply wrapping Prometheus over the OpenAI models in this case.

Summary

The GPT-4 model from OpenAI has been integrated into Bing by Microsoft, giving users of the search engine an experience akin to ChatGPT.

The new Bing experience is powered by Microsoft's Prometheus model, which may deliver more pertinent solutions and current results, and includes the option to start a chat in its toolbar.

Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, thinks that this technology will transform "very much every software category" and that in the future, every computer contact will be mediated by an agent.

Additionally, Microsoft is increasing its investment in OpenAI and its alliance, while Google has declared Bard as a rival but has not yet provided any other information.

This could alter the way that the web operates and affect the financial stability of
