It looks like Microsoft’s Bing search engine is getting into a serious relationship with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to reports, Microsoft plans to integrate ChatGPT into Bing by the end of March 2023 in an effort to take on Google search and provide more human-like answers to queries.
This AI technology, developed by OpenAl, has already made waves in the world of artificial intelligence with its ability to generate answers and authentic-looking essays on a wide range of topics. Now, Microsoft is hoping to bring that same level of intelligence to its search engine in a bid to take on tech giant Google.
But what is it about ChatGPT that makes it such a valuable addition to Bing? For starters, it’s built on the foundation of GPT-3, a large language model that has impressed many with its capabilities. Additionally, ChatGPT has been ramped up with both supervised and reinforcement learning methods, giving it a well-rounded understanding of how to provide accurate and helpful responses to user queries.

However, it’s important to note that ChatGPT is not without its flaws. It still lacks real-world use cases and is limited in its knowledge until 2021. It’s also been known to output incorrect answers sometimes. Despite issues, Microsoft is clearly confident in the potential of ChatGPT to enhance the Bing search experience.
But what does this mean for Google? The tech giant has made it clear that it has no plans to integrate ChatGPT into its own search engine due to concerns over “reputational risk.” Google has cited issues with bias and factuality in existing AI chatbots as the main reasons behind this decision. Instead, the company has relied on a variety of large AI language models, such as BERT and GLaM, to improve its search engine.
As for Bing, the integration of ChatGPT could be just the beginning. Microsoft has a close relationship with OpenAl, having invested $1 billion in the company in 2019. With the addition of ChatGPT, it seems that Microsoft is positioning itself as a serious contender in the world of artificial intelligence and search. Look at the tweet:

At the end of the day, the integration of ChatGPT into Bing is a bold move that could pay off big time for Microsoft. While the technology still has room for improvement, it’s clear that Microsoft is committed to using AI to enhance the search experience for its users. Will this be enough to take on Google’s search supremacy? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain: the battle for search dominance is heating up.
