Reply to comment by Graphitetshirt in [OC] Microsoft Bing: A forgotten $10B+ business by jtsg_

Not sure if I have to feel embarrassed but I switched to Bing a few days ago to see how it's integrating ChatGPT.

Bing’s Chat is good. Sometimes really good. Sometimes useless. But it’s without a doubt something I find myself using more and more, and less Google

I use it for things like asking when such and such is coming up. ie: When is X movie release date, when is this next fight, concert, etc.

While it's slow to wait for a response sometimes depending on the question and waiting for the typing, I'll usually just come back to it. The ability to refine that answer is the cherry on top.

It's not as good as chatgpt or copilot for technical questions, where it shines is when you're looking for an answer for current events since it's internet aware and search based. It's like having a secretary compile information from search results for you. It's useful in its own niche.

Yeah but it won't let me search for anything about porn, drugs, or anything over like PG13

You can use the normal Bing search function for that, they are a leader in the x-rated space

I am using it a lot now. Even switched my browser to edge dev to have the chat integrated in the browser itself. It’s honestly very useful for a lot of the tasks I am doing and more than just a search engine. I can see the share change significantly by the end of the year if this keeps going

Sign up for Microsoft Rewards and you'll feel smart... it's free money for using a search engine. I get about $200 in Amazon gift codes through it every 2-3 years after letting my points build up. Its a search engine that literally pays you to use it with no gimmicks or strings attached.
