Very impressive! I noticed two really notable things right off the bat: 1. I asked it a question about a feature that TypeScript doesn't have[1]. GPT4 usually does not recognize that it's impossible (I've tried asking it a bunch of times, it gets it right with like 50% probability) and hallucinates an answer. Gemini correctly says that it's impossible. The impressive thing was that it then linked to the open GitHub i…

Not sure what you tried, but it's not the new model. It hasn't been released, just "release announced".

From the article:

> Starting today, Bard will use a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more.

Additionally, when I went to Bard, it informed me I had Gemini (though I can't find that banner any more).

Some of my searches aren't really searches, they're questions which Google has the information to be able to sum it up. A few weeks ago I was trying to remember the name of a site that put up two movie posters and you pick which one you liked more.

Googled "What was the website that showed two movie posters and you picked the one you liked more?" and I got links to reddit, lots to letterboxd, some quora, and a lot more, all irrelevant to my question.

Asked ChatGPT that same question verbatim and

> The website you're referring to is probably "Flickchart." It's a platform where users can compare and rank movies by choosing which one they like more between two movie posters or movie titles. Please note that my knowledge is up to date as of January 2022, and the availability and popularity of such websites may change over time.

Another time I was looking for the release dates of 8 and 16-bit consoles. With Google I had to search for each console individually, sometimes offered a card with the release date, sometimes didn't and I'd have to go do more digging.

So I asked ChatGPT and got a nice formatted list with dates

I'm not OP, but happy to answer.

GPT4 has plugin support. One of the plugins is Internet access via Bing. It automatically chooses which plugins to call upon based on the context it infers from your question - you don't have to select anything.

Here's an example: https://chat.openai.com/share/be3821e7-1403-44fb-b833-1c73f3...

It correctly finds a texture atlas example by discovering it nested inside of Bevy's github.

Note that it didn't summarize when I didn't say to conditionally consider summarizing. I consider this poor behavior, but I'm confident it would elaborate if I followed up. The initial seed prompt by OpenAI encourages concise answers (likely as cost saving measure but also for brevity)

I realize this is just a glorified "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, but I find it to be a much better UX, so I default to it over Googling. It's nice to be able to seamlessly transition from "search" to "brainstorm/discuss" without losing context.

In addition to the other response, you can ask ChatGPT to search for you (via Bing) and provide a cited answer, or you can ask it to curate a set of results that might match your search query.

Here’s a humorous example from a recent GPT-mediated search: https://chat.openai.com/share/ec874cd5-7314-4abc-b169-607601...

Marketing: Gemini 90.0% || GPT-4 86.4%, new SotA exceeding human performance on MMLU!

Fine print: Gemini 90.0% chain of thought @ 32-shot || GPT-4 86.4% @ 5-shot

Technical report: Gemini 83.7% @ 5-shot || GPT-4 86.4% @ 5-shot

Granted, this is now the second-best frontier model in the world - but after a company-wide reorg and six months of constant training, this is not what success for Google looks like.

Personally, I don't "search" with ChatGPT. I ask and talk with it, and that's the big deal and the reason why the current query based search is dead. Think about your typical stackoverflow question. With Google you have to came up with a good query then start the tedious process of looking at the results. With ChatGPT you can directly ask for results, redirect the conversation, etc.
