Bing popped up today with Ask me anything... and a message that this is all new AI searching, give it a try. I can't seem to be able to bring up the message again to find out more. So I searched for "What's the new bing?"
The timesofindia website has answered that question first. "Microsoft has described the new Bing as “a research assistant, personal planner, and creative partner at your side whenever you search the web”. Bing can now answer real-world questions with human-like detailed answers."
Windows Central has the story on this: - Microsoft just announced a new version of its Bing search engine.
- The new Bing uses ChatGPT technology to understand questions and generate answers.
- The search engine runs on the next generation of OpenAI's language model, which is significantly more capable than the version of ChatGPT that has been available since November 2022.
- A new version of Microsoft Edge will launch alongside the new Bing.
That was yesterday, so we are experiencing the new search engine today. The articles say you can ask anything - how to plan a dinner party, for example. So I did that search, and I see the answer from paperless post.com looking visually pleasant. I wonder if this is what they mean by Artificial Intelligence.
I asked what is the best way to see Niagara Ontario, and I get Niagara Falls, Ontario results. I changed the search to: what are the best attractions in Niagara region, Ontario. It is slightly enlarged, but still entirely focused on Niagara Falls.
We'll have lots of time to find out about it.
