Microsoft is offering the new AI-powered Bing through a limited preview for desktop users.
A new and improved ChatGPT is here: Microsoft is officially launching an upgraded version of the popular chatbot on the Bing search engine and the Edge browser today as a limited preview.
Microsoft says it enhanced ChatGPT to be even better at summarizing content, offering recommendations, and finding answers to complex questions for the most current topics.
According to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the program goes beyond search by essentially acting as a “co-pilot” for your everyday needs. Rather than forcing you to scroll through search results, the new Bing promises to find the answer instantly through intelligently crafted lists, bullet point articles, and summaries.
“It’s a new day in search, it’s a new paradigm in search, rapid innovation is going to come,” he told journalists during a Tuesday briefing.
The company demoed the new AI-powered Bing at Microsoft’s offices in Redmond. One big change is how the program is designed to constantly crawl the web to help you find the most up-to-date answers, unlike ChatGPT, which is limited to knowledge up to 2021.
The other difference is how it’ll cite its sources, detailing how it arrived at the answers by posting web links to the third-party websites and news articles it pulled from.
