I don't get the point of Bing Chat. As a chat, it is not as good or knowledgeable as ChatGPT. As a search it is not as good as Google or even Bing. I don't know what I would use Bing Chat for.
Bing Chat is just terrible. It tries to merge neutered ChatGPT with promoted web content. It’s really too bad as Microsoft had an opportunity here to leverage this into something great. Instead they are like how can we control the output.. simplify the responses and make money pushing people to certain sites and services.
Is there any reason to use ChatGPT over Bing Chat? I haven't gotten too deep into the more extreme uses of this stuff, just asking occasional questions where google provides irrelevant results.
Bing Chat is more useful in many cases because it provides references that connect to it’s responses. I don’t like the mobile UI and that it doesn’t save your chats for you. Maybe I should try the web interface.
If you're talking to Bing Chat and want to double check something, why would you switch to Google? You'd just search for the results yourself in Bing, not to mention that Bing also gives you the relevant search results right there in the chat.
chatgpt has felt more restrictive than Bing, having tested both. ChatGpt too often declining to say anything useful ("As an AI language model [I can't do that] etc.."). Bing is good because it searches the web, it and you interpret the internet together.
There were about 3 months that I thought Bing Chat was an incredible feature that was added for free. Since then, it has been eclipsed by other free generative search like phind.com which are more functional and free.
I think the Bing Chat answers have gotten too concise to be useful for anything technical. It's good for quick retrieval of simple things, but I have abandoned it and ChatGPT for phind.com, at least for now.
Ask me in 3 months, I may have another system I favor. This space is evolving rapidly.
I am confused by your takeaway; is it that Bing Chat is useless compared to Google? Or that it's so powerful that it's going to do something genuinely problematic?
Because as far as I'm concerned, Bing Chat is blowing Google out of the water. It's completely eating its lunch in my book.
If your concern is the latter; maybe? But seems like a good gamble for Bing since they've been stuck as #2 for so long.
With the added value of having all seo, spam and ads removed, I find Bing chat better than Google search for generalities or recommendations. No more searching for a manual - just ask how to do something and it will find a way. It would be even better if you could configure the search engine. But for shopping it's obviously not very useful.
Huh, not sure. I've found Bing chat to be actually useful compared to Google search. For some recent projects, Bing introduced me to a few very useful packages that I wouldn't have known even existed, if I had stuck to Google search. I've only seen Bing fail for my use cases when I drafted queries that I wanted it to fail: for example, asking some esoteric question on how to beat the Burmese 1st mission of Age of Empires in under 10 minutes. In most cases, Bing is actually a good enough replacement for a market research bullshitter, for cases where I'm looking for non-exact data.
