Microsoft ChatGPT-Powered Bing Search Engine Will Launch Soon

Google has been the numero uno search engine of the world, but an unlikely contender may take over with the power of AI.

Microsoft recently announced it would incorporate ChatGPT functionality into its lesser-known search engine Bing.

After initial testing, I can say that the Microsoft ChatGPT upgrade is promising. Let us see why people should check out this revamped version.

What are the features of the Microsoft ChatGPT-enabled Bing?

You may check out the “new Bing” at bing.com/new. The website presents search queries that reveal how the Microsoft ChatGPT search platform would answer them.

It works like Google search, except it has an AI search sidebar. It looks like ChatGPT’s interface and provides detailed answers.

For example, you may select the option to “create a 3-course menu.” Specifically, it will answer this long query:

“I need to throw a dinner party for 6 people who are vegetarian. Can you suggest a 3-course menu with a chocolate dessert?”

Click the “Try it on Bing” button, which will open another tab for that search question. Then, it will show concise answers on the sidebar:

Sure, I can suggest a 3-course menu with a chocolate dessert for your vegetarian dinner party. Here are some possible options:

• Starter: Wild Mushroom Tartlets with Onion Sauce of Vegan Popcorn Tofu Nuggets

• Main: Vegan Butternut Squash Mac or Vegetarian Three-Bean Chili

• Dessert: Chocolate Lava Cake or Chocolate Pasta with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Sauce, White Chocolate Shavings, and Fresh Berries.

I hope this helps you plan your party. Enjoy!

Also, each option has numbers that correspond to specific sources. You may click on those to learn more about each recipe. 

As a result, Microsoft could solve one glaring problem with early versions of ChatGPT: the lack of citations. 

Old iterations provide convincingly manmade text but tend to use inaccurate or false data because their database only has info before 2021.

This new version could potentially make ChatGPT more useful. You could use the first page answers instead of looking at numerous search results. 

Conclusion

Shortly after the Microsoft-ChatGPT investment deal of roughly $10 billion, an AI-powered Bing emerges. Yet, other tech firms have been working on their AI projects too.

For example, Chinese tech firm Baidu will release its ChatGPT competitor next month. Google has also been working on various AI projects like VALL-E and MusicLM.

We can expect the race for artificial intelligence to transform many aspects of daily life. Prepare by learning the latest digital trends from Inquirer Tech.
