AI-Powered Bing Search Comes to Microsoft Edge, Skype and Bing iOS Apps

I'll admit it, like many of you I thought it was all hype when I first heard about ChatGPT last year. Then I tried it...

Large Language Models like ChatGPT and BingAI are literally going to revolutionize the world. If you haven't spent any time with one I highly suggest you open up an OpenAI account and give ChatGPT a whirl (or just spend some time with Bing although there are some caveats with this version) Siri is literally nothing by comparison.

They can respond to complex input, actively engage with the user, answer complex questions, create convincing output in multiple languages, write code (!), summarize, review and even create content, and complete work in seconds that would take humans hours (if not more.)

When BingAI first released to preview last week it was incredible. Compared to ChatGPT which is not connected to the internet, BingAI could do complex searches, pull accurate information from the internet, do complex calculations, had better foreign language support, and, if left as it is would've been a must have for almost everyone. The things you could do with it were truly mind blowing, and is what finally sold me on the "fourth industrial revolution" an amorphous term I previously felt was just a buzzword lacking in substance

That said, this could've been an earth shattering moment where Microsoft seizes control of not only search, but a lot of office type productivity. Unfortunately as anyone who was in the preview around a week ago knows, the version of BingAI being rolled out today is vastly inferior to the one available initially. While the preview version had it's problems, and could be provoked into going off the rails, it made ChatGPT (already very capable) look like a child's plaything in comparison.

I'll say it once: Don't sleep on this. Especially if you do white collar work. Your future employability may be on the line.

AI assistants are literally on the cusp of going from a joke (Siri, Alexa, etc) that is sometimes mildly useful (set a timer/reminder/alarm) to something that will be indispensable to our lives and change the workplace forever.

Yeah, even today Siri balked on simply starting a timer :mad:. That said, I still believe one should "never say never".

Sometimes I really wonder and think... what the future holds for Siri. It seems like Siri is still 10 years behind.

I’m honestly not a big fan of AI. It doesn’t impress me. The more I see AI stuff out there. The more I miss human interaction. 🫂

It's not ready. It's not very good. But it will be.

Siri will never be.

Man, enough of this crap! Just another metaverse.

If this “AI” lives up to the hype, it might prove useful, at least in giving better search results. Unlike Metaverse, which is useless no matter how much you try to hype it up.

ChatGPT has you covered!
