Bing’s new AI-powered chatbot (see page 7) is basically ChatGPT with ads…and one that refuses to do your homework for you. Well, sometimes. 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 works shockingly well more often than not.
The new Bing experience is basically two parts. There’s the traditional search, with a list of search results and a new contextual interface to the right; and, for those who have access, features a large search box in the center, with room for lengthy searches of up to 1,000 characters. It’s above that search box that you’ll find the small Chat link.
