Bing’s chat AI bot challenges Google Assistant and Siri
Microsoft has recently launched a new version of its search engine Bing, powered by a chat AI bot that can converse with users and generate creative content. The chat AI bot uses ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art natural language processing model that can understand complex queries and produce natural responses.
The new Bing aims to provide a more engaging and personalized experience for users who are looking for information, entertainment, or assistance. Unlike Google Assistant and Siri, which are mainly designed to perform tasks and answer factual questions, Bing’s chat AI bot can also crack jokes, write poems, tell stories, and express emotions.
According to Microsoft, the chat AI bot is not only a fun feature but also a useful tool that can help users find what they need faster and easier. For example, if a user asks Bing for travel recommendations, the chat AI bot can ask follow-up questions to narrow down the options and provide relevant suggestions.
The new Bing is currently available to select users who can access it through the web browser or the mobile app on iOS and Android devices. Users can also interact with the chat AI bot on Skype by adding Bing as a contact. Microsoft plans to expand the availability of the new Bing in the coming months.
The new Bing has received mixed reactions from users who have tried it so far. Some users have praised it for its natural language understanding, engaging personality, and creative abilities. Others have criticized it for its limited conversation length (50 turns per day), occasional errors or inconsistencies, and potential ethical issues.
Microsoft has stated that it is constantly improving the chat AI bot based on user feedback and data analysis. The company has also emphasized that it respects user privacy and does not store any personal information from the conversations.
Microsoft hopes that its new Bing will become a superior alternative to Google Assistant and Siri, which dominate the market of phone assistants. The company believes that its chat AI bot offers a more human-like interaction that can satisfy users’ diverse needs and preferences.
