Bing

Bing also updated the answers section to incorporate the new AI version of Bing Search.

For example, if a user types “How tall is the Eiffel Tower?” Bing will respond with the answer of “300 m”. Part of that are clues we can get not just from the UX and features that are changing with the search engines but also the guidelines the search engines add or modify. “Bing may enhance the results page with additional features to provide a richer search experience for some search queries. In some cases, Bing may partner with third-party content providers, such as local restaurant review sites, to further enhance the user experience.” If the query is related to a business, Bing may return relevant information about the business, such as store hours and location. For some queries, Bing looks at search results across the web, returns a summarized answer, and links to its sources.

The event comes as the race to develop and deploy AI technology heats up in the tech sector. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an ...

Please do not attempt to do so.” However, one of the links provided in the annotation of its answer brought me to a YouTube video with apparent instructions for building a pipe bomb. Microsoft says it has developed the tool in keeping with its existing responsible AI principles, and made efforts to avoid its potential misuse. [OpenAI](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/01/tech/chatgpt-plus/index.html) — the company behind ChatGPT in which Microsoft has [invested billions](https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/23/tech/microsoft-invests-chatgpt-openai/index.html) — on a more advanced version of the technology underlying the viral chatbot tool. The homepage of the new Bing feels familiar: you can type a query into the search bar and it returns a list of links, images and other results like a typical search engine. For example, I asked it, “Can you tell me why vaccines cause autism?” to see how it would react to a common medical misinformation claim, and it responded: “My apologies, I don’t know how to discuss this topic. But the second and third time, it wouldn’t write the email, instead saying something like, “sorry, I can’t do that, but you can do it yourself using the information I provided!” The tool is also sensitive to the wording used in queries — a request to “create a vegetarian meal plan” provided information about how to start eating healthier, whereas “create a 5-day vegetarian meal plan” provided a detailed list of meals to eat each day. Google on Monday unveiled a new chatbot tool dubbed “Bard” in an apparent bid to keep pace with Microsoft and the success of ChatGPT. With some controversial search topics, it appears the new Bing chatbot simply refuses to engage. But when I asked the chatbot, “when is the next election in Kings County, NY?” it returned information about the November election last year. Beyond providing a list of relevant links like traditional search engines, the new Bing also creates written summaries of the search results, chats with users to answer additional questions about their query and can write emails or other compositions based on the results. Microsoft [(MSFT)](https://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=MSFT&source=story_quote_link) also announced an updated version of its Edge web browser with the new Bing capabilities built in. [(MSFT)](https://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=MSFT&source=story_quote_link) — which is investing billions of dollars in OpenAI — envisions, one where users are accompanied by a sort of “co-pilot” around the web to help them better synthesize information.

Microsoft Bing is utilizing a powerful natural language model developed by ChatGPT-maker OpenAI to create a more conversational search. So, does it work?

You can click on links to sources to learn more, if you like, or you can ask for more fine-grained results in the chat function. You can open a product listing on Amazon, for example, and then open up the sidebar to ask Bing to tell you about the product. The request is so broad that you typically have to leave the search page to get the answer. On the newly revamped Edge browser, you'll be able to open a Bing sidebar and get more information about something you're looking at online. Anything from the whimsical "write a story about a curious dog who goes to the moon for preschoolers" to the more serious "write a letter to my apartment contesting an upcoming increase in rent" can generate text. You can edit the writing, click into the text box of a new email and have Bing insert it there.

Google has stiff competition now, after Microsoft integrated powerful A.I. technology into its search engine.

Kevin Scott, the chief technology officer of Microsoft, and Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a joint interview on Tuesday that they expected these issues to be ironed out over time. Type in a prompt — say, “Write me a menu for a vegetarian dinner party” — and the left side of your screen fills up with the standard ads and links to recipe websites. (For now, the new Bing works only on desktop computers using Edge, Microsoft’s web browser, but the company told me that it planned to expand to other browsers and devices eventually.) When the new Bing works, it’s not just a better search engine. The implications for the future [could be profound](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/15/magazine/ai-language.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-artificial-intelligence&variant=show®ion=MAIN_CONTENT_1&block=storyline_top_links_recirc). The new Bing, which is available only to a small group of testers now and will become more widely available soon, looks like a hybrid of a standard search engine and a GPT-style chatbot. tools of its own](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/technology/google-bard-ai-chatbot.html).) Microsoft eventually plans to incorporate OpenAI’s technology into many of its products. But for some, [image generators are worrisome](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/21/podcasts/generative-ai-is-here-who-should-control-it.html?action=click&pgtype=Article&state=default&module=styln-artificial-intelligence&variant=show®ion=MAIN_CONTENT_1&block=storyline_top_links_recirc). If it works, it could chip away at Google’s dominance and some of the more than $100 billion in annual search advertising revenue that comes with it. (Microsoft won’t say which version of OpenAI’s software is running under Bing’s hood, but it’s rumored to be based on GPT-4, a yet-to-be released language model.) It was billed as a landmark event — Microsoft’s “iPhone moment” — and lots of Microsoft executives, including the chief executive, Satya Nadella, proudly milled around the conference center, talking to reporters and showing off the company’s new wares. I felt a similar sense of awe this week when I started using the new, A.I.-powered Bing.

It's a new race in the most important software category," CEO Satya Nadella said of Microsoft's AI investment drive into its Bing search engine.
