Bing ChatGPT: The New Bing Search Engine Based on ChatGPT
- February 8, 2023
Since its inception, Bing has served as Microsoft’s competitor to Google in the search engine field, but over the past 13 years, most users have opted for Google search. The emergence of ChatGPT may change this status quo.
What is Bing ChatGPT?
Bing ChatGPT is Microsoft’s new Bing search engine, released on February 7, 2023, based on the OpenAI GPT-4 model. Its main function is to provide a ChatGPT-like experience in the search engine, with the main difference being the addition of a conversational-style feature in Bing’s sidebar that is similar to ChatGPT. Microsoft stated at the release that they hope to launch the new feature by the end of March to make Bing more competitive with Google. The new service can be seen on the Bing new page with limited access for users in the US, and to get the full experience you must join the waiting list.
Microsoft also released a new version of the Edge browser at the same time as the new Bing, with new AI features built into the sidebar.
