\nBut, don\u2019t worry. We\u2019re going to talk about Bing AI, what it is, how it compares to chatGPT, its capabilities, and more. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Microsoft Bing AI.
\nBefore we start
\nWe at AH are working on informing you about the various AI chatbots out there, so we have a lot of content on them. You can start with Everything you need to know about ChatGPT. We also tell you everything you need to know about Google Bard and about Snapchat My AI. If you want more, we also have the top 10 AI chatbots out there.
\nHow do I access Bing AI?
\nMicrosoft used to have a waitlist for people who wanted to access Bing AI, but now it\u2019s no more. All you have to do is go to this site. There, you\u2019ll sign in with your Microsoft account. When you do that, you\u2019ll be taken right to the Bing search engine under the Chat tab.
\nNote that you can not use Bing AI on Google Chrome. (Shocker, huh?) As you can expect, it\u2019s recommended that you use Microsoft\u2019s Edge browser for the best and most optimized experience.
\nIf you\u2019re using Windows 11, and you\u2019re on the most up-to-date version, you\u2019ll see the Bing AI logo on the search bar on the taskbar. When you click on it, you\u2019ll see a shelf rise from the taskbar. Click on the Bing AI logo on the top right. That will take you to the Bing AI page in the Edge browser. [Disclaimer: At the time of writing this article, Microsoft is still figuring out how it wants to implement Bing AI. There\u2019s a chance that this will change.]
\nHow much does it cost to use?
\nAbsolutely nothing. Bing AI is free to sign up for and free to use. There are also no monthly subscriptions that offer extra perks. It\u2019s all free to use.
\nHow does Microsoft monetize its chatbot?
\nAt the time of writing this article, Bing is not monetized. However, there are reports that Microsoft is going to introduce ads into the results. This will help create another revenue stream for the platform. At this time, we don\u2019t know how they\u2019re going to work.
\nDoes Bing AI function like a search engine?
\nYes. While Bing AI is based on ChatGPT, it\u2019s very different in how it retrieves data and presents it. When you ask it a question, most of the time, it will actually do a Bing search for the information. Then, the chatbot presents the information in a conversational and concise manner.
\nSay, you type in something like \u201cGive me a list of 18th-century artists\u201d, you\u2019ll see it actually do a Bing search for 18th-century artists. When it presents you with the results, you\u2019ll see the sources where it found the information. On the bottom of the chat bubble, it will show you buttons with the sources it found the information.
\nSo, you can type in all types of searches like \u201cFind me a site that talks about Android news\u201d, \u201cI need a flight to Miami\u201d, \u201cI need an inexpensive violin\u201d. It will function just like the Bing search engine and deliver your results.
\nIs Bing AI accurate?
\nIt\u2019s as accurate as AI can be at this point. Using it, you can expect the bulk of the facts it reels in to be correct. However, there are instances when it gives you inaccurate information. For instance, it said that Franz Joseph Haydn was born on March 31st, 1792; in reality, he was born in 1732. It\u2019s little things like those that you\u2019ll need to keep an eye out for.
\nHow is it with conversations?
\nBing AI leans heavily into being a fancy search engine, so it doesn\u2019t prioritize being a conversational chatbot. However, that\u2019s not to say that it\u2019s bad at conversations. There are three conversation modes that you can choose: Creative, Balanced, and Precise. When you choose the Creative option, the chatbot will attempt to answer you in a more conversational way. This includes asking questions about you, your feelings, your interests, other people involved in the conversation, etc.
\nThere\u2019s one issue, though. When this mode is activated, the bot will sometimes give you a random dump of information that it pulls from a search. We tested it with a conversation about jazz music, then it randomly gave a wall of text about the birth of jazz and its history, and gave a YouTube video recommendation. That\u2019s less conversational and more search-oriented.
\nWhat kind of written content can it produce?
\nWhile Bing AI is based on ChatGPT, it\u2019s still a search engine down on the molecular level. This means that it\u2019s best used if you\u2019re looking for information, not content. Whereas ChatGPT can produce poems, reviews, articles, essays, and other forms of content, Bing AI is much more limited. A lot of the time, instead of creating content, it will do a search. When asked to write a poem, it did a search and found a poem from a website.
\nWe were able to get it to produce bits of code, short stories, and eulogies. However, the eulogy was as dry as a bone. So, if you\u2019re looking for insane AI-powered generative capabilities, Bing AI is not the one to provide.
\nHow does Bing AI compare to ChatGPT?
\nGiven the differences in mentality, it\u2019s tough comparing both chatbots. ChatGPT is a chatbot, Bing AI is a search engine with a chatbot facade. There are some things that both can do, but at the end of the day, you\u2019re using Bing AI as a replacement for Bing Search.
\nIt\u2019s tied to the information that it pulls in real-time from the web. It\u2019s meant to bring you search results and present pages for you to click on. That way, Microsoft can generate more ad revenue.
\nSo, if you\u2019re looking for ideas, content, conversations, etc., you should look towards ChatGPT. If you use Bing often, and you\u2019re looking for information, recommendations, and other things you can find using a search engine, then Bing AI is the one for you.
