Last Tuesday, Microsoft announced the launch of its new AI-powered search engine, Bing, and an updated version of its Edge web browser. In his announcement, he noted that his search engine, which has long held the number two spot in the search engine market, now has AI technology that powers the ChatGPT chat bot. Thanks to this, the new Bing engine can, among other things, respond to queries in a dialog-oriented manner.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the new search service is designed to respond to searches that don't perform well in search engines. People are increasingly turning to search engines for advice and information on complex topics, not just links to websites. Improving the AI of the Bing engine also aims to make it perform better.
Currently, you can put yourself on a waiting list to use Bing's new artificial intelligence service, but it will be widely available for free in the coming months.
Here are 5 things you can try with the AI-powered Bing search engine before it's available to everyone:

You can also ask Bing to write a story on a specific topic and after providing information about the different elements of the story, it will generate the text for you in the form of a story. Or ask him to write an essay on a specific topic.
