Microsoft’s latest version of Bing (opens in new tab) features an AI-powered chatbot designed to answer all your burning questions. The world’s second most popular search engine clearly hopes this AI gamble will pay off, but I imagine the sites whose content is featured in these results won’t be too pleased.
Bing’s new chat feature responds to questions with long-form answers in an easy-to-read conversational format. If you’ve used OpenAI’s ChatGPT before, it’s essentially that. Microsoft says this feature is “more powerful than ChatGPT and customized specifically for search.”
Along with the usual search results, the Chat feature lets users refine the information they receive. In one of the demos embedded below, it breaks down the differences between cheap TVs after a couple of follow-up queries with the AI.
The AI-powered Bing gets its answers the same way AI art is generated: scraping information from the internet. And much like AI art, the creators of the content the system is trained on receive little to no attribution or compensation.
