Microsoft is integrating Bing as the default search engine for OpenAI's ChatGPT service. The update means ChatGPT can leverage Bing's search engine and web data to provide more up-to-date answers, along with citations. - Microsoft made the announcement at its Build developer conference, saying that Bing integration is now available for ChatGPT Plus users and will soon roll out to free users through a plugin.
- While Microsoft has already incorporated OpenAI technology into Bing and other products, the update brings Bing into OpenAI's ecosystem.
- Microsoft is also integrating GPT-based Bing into Windows 11, enabling users to modify settings and more with a new "Windows Copilot" directly from the taskbar. That feature will launch in June.
- The moves aim to bolster Microsoft's competition with Google in the AI search market.
- Google previously introduced its own experimental search chatbot, Bard, which also has internet access to reference up-to-date information and current events.
