BingGPT: Microsoft Trips at the Finish Line
I was really rooting for Microsoft with its ChatGPT integration into the Bing search engine. You might have seen the hype, including the hilarious controversy around Bing’s ChatGPT threatening journalists and being easily provoked. After a few weeks of closed access and insurmountable hype, Microsoft has opened the floodgates to many more people, and Bing’s ChatGPT integration is a dismal disappointment. Perhaps the passive-aggressive and threatening nature of Microsoft’s ChatGPT integration forced their hand. Still, after trying it for a while, it’s clear it isn’t a rival to the original ChatGPT anymore. Despite having access to up-to-date information, it has been dumbed down as it’s obvious Microsoft has cut both legs off to get it under control.
