[ExI] Microsoft is adding ChatGPT to Bing search

[BillK]

Microsoft’s next-gen Bing uses a ‘much more powerful’ language model
than ChatGPT
The model is designed to excel at search.

Quotes:
The new Bing offers a chat function and an expanded search bar that
allows you to input up to a thousand characters. In one demo Microsoft
showed off during its event, Yusuf Mehdi, the company's consumer chief
marketing officer, asked Bing to compare the most influential Mexican
artists and their best-known paintings. Bing displayed its response in
a new side panel that featured annotations and weblinks.

The chat feature is there for when you want to use the generative
capabilities of OpenAI's technology. For example, say you want to
start planning a trip to Hawaii. You can ask Bing to create a five-day
itinerary for you. In its response, the search engine will include
links to accommodations, flights and things you can do on the islands.

Seems impressive!
