Better than I expected, especially the Edge integration... no word on monetization so I presume ads down our throat and signing over our data for eternity.

Re: Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
#62The Edge integration announced today also looks very impressive. I chuckled at the thought that MS is probably about to make a daily Edge user out of me and a lot of other people, but of course Edge is Chrome under the hood now. So Google beat MS to browser market dominance, and now MS is using their browser as a platform to go after Google's core business. Neat. I think this tech is going to be transformative for ev…
Edge is genuinely very very good. It does have some dev tool problems that I've run into, but for browser it's top notch.
I like Edge and I want to like Bing but my problem is that the new tab page on Edge and the landing page on (current) Bing are so bad. They're full of random junk and articles I don't want to see. I'll switch to Bing full time if they just make the landing page clean.

#63This is undeniably cool and impressive, but, I think proceeding down this research path, at this pace, is quite irresponsible. The primary effect of OpenAI's work has been to set off an arms race, and the effect of that is that humanity no longer has the ability to make decisions about how fast and how far to go with AGI development. Obviously this isn't a system that's going to recursively self-improve and wipe out…
It's a force multiplier. It can be used for good or bad. I'd rather that we democratize access to these tools - IMO it's better than an alternative where only megacorps have access and do what they like behind closed doors.
What jimrandomh is talking about is not just whether megacorps use AI for good or bad, but what happens if an AI starts doing damage outside the control of anybody. That could happen regardless of democratization if advancement occurs too quickly without thinking about AI safety.

Does it nag you constantly and do everything it can to steal data from you? I think lots of Microsoft products are now technically very good, but I don't like using them because they can't stop annoying me about stuff, and every time I turn my back are committing industrial espionage.
I haven't seen any nags at all. Chrome is notoriously the most anti-privacy browser in the top-flight; Edge generally has better privacy controls than Chrome. But, if you're comparing it to Brave or some others, you'll be disappointed if that is your main concern.

#65Am I the only person annoyed that the first 30 links on this page are to 'theverge.com'? I want to get to Bing itself. Or at least the waitlist. I don't want to have to parse through so much text and get distracted. In fact, the only place where 'bing.com/new' shows up is in the source code used for what I think is SEO. I cannot find an href anywhere pointing to bing.com/new So here it is: https://bing.com/new
I get redirected to regular bing when I visit, with an apparent error code in the URL. Is this not fully rolled out?
Re: Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
#66Is the https://bing.com/new link working? I'm not sure if it's not live yet or if I'm not seeing it because I'm checking from a Mac (via both Chrome and the OSX version of Edge)
It works for me. Edit - Well, it gives me the waitlist at least. Possibly because I am in the MS corp net - changes may not have propagated? IDK.
Are you sure? For me it just did a fast redirect to the normal bing after flashing an error.

#67Yesterday Google and now Microsoft both announcing their own chat bot integration and yet there is not a single link where I can try out either one of them. What is this new trend of announcing things as if it's available for general use and then hiding it behind invites or not making it available at all.
It's nothing new. Remember Gmail invites?

Not currently working for me (Germany, Windows).
Re: Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
#69So much for "citing its work." The answer I got here: https://www.bing.com/search?q=What%20cars%20should%20I%20con... Says the Tesla Model Y can go from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds, and has a citation link to a page that... doesn't even mention Tesla once.
Am I missing something? That link just shows the usual search results.
Did they not roll this out in the EU yet or something?
