| Is it the bing engine for the popular ChatGPT chatbot? |
Users reported that a new version based on a popular chatbot (ChatGPT) from the search engine Bing appeared on Friday and mysteriously disappeared.
The incident comes after rumors in recent days that Microsoft intends to merge (ChatGPT) with Bing to take advantage of the huge success of the OpenAI bots, in which Microsoft has invested about $ 300 million. Another multi-year investment announced just days ago that would total $10 billion.
In a tweet on Twitter, student and designer Owen Yin said he saw the "new Bing" and posted a post on Medium explaining what he found in the new version of the search engine, along with several still and animated screenshots. .
(Yin) confirmed that he tested the search engine based on (ChatGPT) and said that the chatbot not only answers the questions, but also displays them in a conversation and also displays the source he quotes, which is an important feature, since they are intelligent chatbots, the source of their information cannot be described, so Its reliability is low.
It should be noted that (Yin) was not the only person who claimed to have seen and tried the new version of Bing, as two others stated that they were able to access the new search engine before it suddenly disappeared.
Screenshot of the AI-powered search engine showing a new chat option appearing in the menu bar next to the search option. Clicking the option redirects users to a chat interface with the text "Welcome to the new Bing: AI-powered response engine."
Here are three suggestions on how to get users to "ask complex questions," "get better answers," or "get creative inspiration." There is also the following disclaimer: “Bing is powered by artificial intelligence, so expect surprises and bugs. Be sure to check facts and share answers so we can learn and improve.”
These are similar to the ChatGPT bot interface and also offer tips on how to get the most out of your AI bot, as well as warnings that the answers may not be reliable.
Despite the potential problems of integrating AI models into search engines and the resulting mistrust of the information they provide, the popularity of ChatGPT bots has prompted Microsoft and Google to accelerate their efforts to incorporate AI into their plan.
Microsoft is expected to launch a new version of Bing in the coming weeks, while Google plans to host an event next week to discuss its upcoming work on artificial intelligence.
