Microsoft is fusing ChatGPT-like technology into its search engine Bing, transforming an internet service that now trails far behind Google into a new way of communicating with artificial intelligence.
The revamping of Microsoft’s second-place search engine could give the software giant a head start against other tech companies in capitalizing on the worldwide excitement surrounding ChatGPT, a tool that’s awakened millions of people to the possibilities of the latest AI technology.
Along with adding it to Bing, Microsoft is also integrating the chatbot technology into its Edge browser. Microsoft announced the new technology at an event Tuesday at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
“Think of it as faster, more accurate, more powerful” than ChatGPT, built with technology from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI but tuned for search queries, said Yusuf Mehdi, a Microsoft executive who leads its consumer division, in an interview.
A public preview of the new Bing launched Tuesday for desktop users who sign up for it, but Mehdi said the technology will scale to millions of users in coming weeks and will eventually come to the smartphone apps for Bing and Edge. For now, everyone can try a limited number of queries, he said.
The strengthening partnership with OpenAI has been years in the making, starting with a $1 billion investment from Microsoft in 2019 that led to the development of a powerful supercomputer specifically built to train the San Francisco startup’s AI models.
While it’s not always factual or logical, ChatGPT’s mastery of language and grammar comes from having ingested a huge trove of digitized books, Wikipedia entries, instruction manuals, newspapers and other online writings.
Microsoft Corp. CEO Satya Nadella said Tuesday that new AI advances are “going to reshape every software category we know,” including search, much like earlier innovations in personal computers and cloud computing. He said it is important to develop AI “with human preferences and societal norms and you’re not going to do that in a lab. You have to do that out in the world.”

Thanks for posting this info. I got “woke” in a different way when waking up to this strange looking configuration on my Bing page and asking what is it? and how do I get rid of it?…..I have not tried it, not interested and don’t plan on trying it.
@ Patrick (and All at TN)…….There is NO SUCH THING as ‘AI’/’Artificial Intelligence’. It’s an OXYMORON. It is like saying there’s ‘Dry Water’. DOES….NOT…..EXIST; and NEVER WILL! (neither of the two!)
INTELLIGENCE can ONLY come from Nature/The Natural World! A MACHINE can NEVER be INTELLIGENT/HAVE Intelligence. A MACHINE can ONLY be PROGRAMMED. Is your computer/laptop ‘AI’/’Artificial Intelligence’? NO!! It IS a MACHINE that has BEEN PROGRAMMED!
Yet, individuals are BRAINWASHED to BELIEVE (Belief Systems are for CHILDREN who do NOT KNOW ANY BETTER!), that ‘AI’ exists. It does NOT!…..and NEVER WILL!!

Whatever. I’m sick to the teeth of this continuous release of AI-the-ultimate-controller-of-humanity articles into the mainstream. I’d call the propaganda a full court press. The fact that the usual suspects are participating in the concept of a complete and total takeover of the internet by a superior quantum AI computer presence that will change the world is the only clue I need to know what is NOT happening. They hope to gain our acquiescence via belief in order to reach their goals. You believe? Then, it’s true. It’s big talk. Ain’t happening guys. Just ain’t happening. And, you know it.… Read more »
