How does Bing, at whatever point, overcome the odd issue of: "google it" is a verb in pretty much every culture I've traveled through. Bing isn't even in the conversation. Changing the tech doesn't mean much on this one, but I'm curious what others think here.

People will use the phrase "Bing It" as a joke, but due to their increased use of Bing, they will say it so often that it soon won't be a joke.

it's interesting to compare all of the hype around LLM on here with my anecdotal experience with my tech friends who doesn't really seem to care, and my non-tech friends who couldn't care less. sort of reminds me of the hype around 3D movies immediately after the first Avatar movie.

Considering ChatGPT reached 100M users in 2 months, it's clear a lot of people care.

From the livestream: Last Q: Any plans to incorporate ads? Yusuf: Ads will be there from the start. I wonder how that's implemented.

> Write me a poem about flowers

  Roses red, violets blue,
  Nature's beauty shines in view.
  Flowers so bright, with fragrance sweet,
  They add a touch of joy so neat.

  For gifts to loved ones, far or near,
  Choose Interflora, they'll bring cheer.
  Bouquets to brighten every day,
  Delivered with love, come what may.

I have mixed feelings about this. I like the integration and the helpfulness, reminds me of the ships computer off the Enterprise in Star Trek in that it can be very useful for collecting information to help learn and make decisions. Things I don't like: This adds a layer between content creators and the user, its opaque, we don't know what filtering, censoring is happening, how accurate the information is that is be…

So like search?

Search used to be quite neutral, except for page rank. “List all web pages in your index that contain the following words/phrases.”

So 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.

Bing+ChatGPT answers for your query:

> That’s a very specific question. Based on my web searches, there are not many cars that meet all of your criteria. However, I found some possible options that you might want to consider:

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, already joined waitlist.

This is a potentially momentous occasion here. Microsoft is betting hard that they can mount a challenge to Google, and I think ChatGPT can credibly attempt that. The answer from Google so far is weak. The thought that Bing may actually overtake Google would be hilarious a few months ago, and now it looks... possible?

Google definitely made a strategic mistake by being slow to react and only taking action late. But Bing only has a limited period of time before Google catches up, and it doesn't seem like it will be enough to take away significant marketshare.
