ChatGPT is taking the world by storm, and even more so today, as a next-generation Microsoft Bing search engine as well as an Edge browser powered by an even more powerful AI were revealed. Bing is still the same search engine, but now has a new sidebar that shows more comprehensive answers if you want them. It draws upon results from across the web to find and summarize the answer you're searching for. Plus, you can now make complex search queries, such as for planning a detailed trip itinerary or researching what monitor to buy. It achieves this through an interactive chat experience that lets you refine your search until you get the complete answer you are looking for by asking for more details.

Microsoft is revamping its search products with more artificial intelligence, including the wildly popular ChatGPT, as tech companies race to take advantage of increasingly powerful AI tools. The company detailed its plans at a special event on Tuesday, saying it would work with OpenAI, the startup behind the ChatGPT tool, to upgrade its Bing search engine and Edge web browser and enhance the information available. The announcement comes a day after Google revealed it is releasing its own artificial intelligence chatbot, called Bard, in response to the huge success of ChatGPT. Microsoft is staking its future on AI through billions of dollars of investment and seeking to capitalize on the worldwide excitement surrounding ChatGPT, a tool that's awakened millions of people to the possibilities of the latest AI technology, and is already changing how people gather information. "This technology is going to reshape pretty much every software category," said Satya Nadella, the chief executive of Microsoft, in a briefing for reporters at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

Microsoft unveiled the "age of AI" on Tuesday, with new conversational ChatGPT features for Bing described as the "AI-powered copilot for the web." Microsoft will add contextual searches to Bing, powered by its own version of the ChatGPT algorithm. Microsoft will also integrate a separate, dedicated chat interface for Bing, complete with footnoted links. Finally, AI will be integrated into Edge, allowing to summarize a financial earnings report, for example. Bing's new search engine interface is live, but to a limited number of people.

Microsoft invited media to this event last week before making the details public just minutes after Google announced its own ChatGPT rival. That should tell you how important this event is for Microsoft and what's on the agenda. While Microsoft is keeping details thin, the invite says Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will "share some progress on a few exciting projects," so expect a number of important announcements.

"Shall we play a game?" That feels "WarGames" apropos as Google releases its own experimental chatbot called Bard as it races to battle ChatGPT, which has taken the AI world by storm. Conversation technology is on the lips of everyone in tech right now, and Google is in the awkward spot of playing the challenger. But this whole AI race could veer into SkyNet territory if we're not careful. Since ChatGPT emerged, some analysts have gone so far (much of it hyperbole) to paint a picture of doom and gloom for Google.

Yes, believe it or not, it was less than nine weeks ago that OpenAI launched what it simply described as an "early demo" a part of the GPT-3.5 series -- an interactive, conversational model whose dialogue format "makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests." ChatGPT quickly caught the imagination -- and feverish excitement -- of both the AI community and the general public. Since then, the tool's possibilities as well as limitations and hidden dangers have been well established, and any hints of slowing down its development were quickly dashed when Microsoft announced its plans to invest billions more into OpenAI.

OpenAI's ChatGPT is a language model AI that can generate human-like text responses to a wide range of questions and prompts. The AI is still in development, so some responses may not be up to your standards. However, it is a powerful tool that can be used for many purposes, including writing CVs and resumes. Here's a selection of useful and fun things you might want to try out with OpenAI's groundbreaking ChatGPT.

The AI system is able to interpret a user's question and generate human-like responses -- language capabilities it developed by ingesting vast amounts of text scraped from the internet and finding patterns between words. The system's developers, the San Francisco-based research lab OpenAI, built the chatbot by fine-tuning one of its older models, called GPT-3.5. Using feedback from human contractors, OpenAI finessed ChatGPT so that responses were more accurate, less offensive, and sounded more natural. Still, users found that ChatGPT sometimes confidently delivers inaccurate answers, spouts nonsense, repeats harmful racial bias, and can be manipulated to violate its own safety rules.

Microsoft Corp. is integrating the technology behind the viral chatbot ChatGPT into its Bing search engine, hoping the artificial intelligence upgrade can help it chip away at Google's dominance of the search market. The breakout success of the bot from the Microsoft-backed OpenAI has put the software giant at the forefront of what some see as the next wave of technological innovation: generative artificial intelligence.

Microsoft's oft-forgotten search engine is about to get a new lease on life. As expected, the tech giant announced on Tuesday that it is partnering with OpenAI to enhance Bing with the company's AI technology. However, Microsoft also had a surprise up its sleeve: the next release of Bing will feature a new next-generation large language model the company claims is "much more powerful" than ChatGPT and designed specifically to excel at search. Underpinning the search engine is a new proprietary technology Microsoft is calling the Prometheus Model. Among the benefits of Prometheus are more relevant search results.
