Hands-on: Microsoft's new AI-powered Bing can write essays and plan vacations

Bing's new AI-powered chatbot is basically ChatGPT with ads…and one that refuses to do your homework for you. That's not necessarily a derogatory criticism; the new Bing is pretty amazing. In your first few minutes with the new Bing chat interface, you'll probably see even more sophistication than the free version of ChatGPT currently offers, with lengthy, detailed responses that can help you in many walks of life. But they may end with a jarring ad that looks (and probably is) ripped straight from Bing. That said, the fresh AI experience already work shockingly well more often than not.
