Microsoft's lazy ass approach to a search engine may finally pay off!
I mainly use Duckduckgo and Startpage but sometimes Bing, especially in Edge.
Is 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.
Interesting they chose Bing over Cortana.
Cortana only runs on Windows. With this, it will be in every browser eventually. They are semi-retireing Cortana https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/changes-to-cortana...
I think we all here at HN will inevitably underestimate the impact of putting GPT into Bing. We may have been playing with GPT for years, but it has just been gift-wrapped and delivered to hundreds of millions in their default Windows browser. I’m expecting it to blow grandma’s mind.
Indeed, I was looking at the list of features and frankly it makes you want to use Edge + Bing as it removes the friction from going to the ChatGPT website entirely. You can ask it to write your LinkedIn posts, define itineraries, translate, etc... all with a simple natural language interface.
Q: Will this be available in Chrome or other browsers?
Yusuf: Our intention is to bring it to all browsers. We're starting with Edge. Chrome has to implement some things to make it work, but our intention is all browsers.
sort of reminds me of the hype around 3D movies immediately after the first Avatar movie.
I wonder what this and whatever Google has got planned will do to content generation on the web. If whatever you write will now easily get hoovered up into an AI but you don't get the benefit of actual clicks to your site, will you still be motivated to post? And will more content go behind a paywall to avoid getting freely used by AI? That said, I do hope it strikes a blow to a lot of awful SEO content out there.

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.

404 and redirects to homepage. Off topic: Anyone knows how to get rid of wall of news on bing homepage? I tried disabling it but it still loads it and makes it visible if I scroll down.
