Microsoft Plans to Add ChatGPT to New Bing Search Engine Version
1/4/2023
With the popularity of the ChatGPT chatbot by OpenAI, Microsoft is adding the AI solution to a new Bing search engine. This comes years after Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI, which was released in November for public testing.
While Google still dominates the global market, Microsoft is not giving up on its Bing as the company is looking for new ways to improve it. Bill Gates' Microsoft first invested $1 billion in OpenAI in July 2019 to support their artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Google's global market share, per Statista, was at 83.84%, dropping from 89.95% over the course of the past three years. In the same timeline, Bing's shares have risen from 8.88% to 3.99%, per Impression.
Microsoft is betting on OpenAI's ChatGPT as a way for it to improve the company's smaller Bing compared to the towering Google. The company bets a more conversational and contextual reply to user queries, per a person who wanted to remain anonymous but was familiar with the plans.
The AI tool was popular amongst students as an article by the New York Post shares how students used it to help them with school work. Although it was starting to get popular among students, a student from Princeton created an app that could detect if ChatGPT wrote an essay, per Business Insider.
The app analyzes how the text was written to see how randomized it was concocted. Through its text analysis, Edward Tian, the person behind the randomization detector, could pinpoint if the randomness was enough to identify the text as AI.
ChatGPT is not known for its 100% accuracy as it still lacks more modern knowledge. Per Forbes, the AI's knowledge is still limited for events past 2021, which was the basis for when the model was initially trained.
With the popularity of ChatGPT, even Google's CEO Sundar Pichai and Jeff Dean, the company's AI research chief, were asked by employees regarding their AI, the LaMDA, which was alleged to be sentient by a now-fired software engineer, per CNBC.
