Microsoft: Bing Is Back

Summary:

  • The GPT-3 technology used by the Microsoft-backed chat isn’t that unique and unrepeatable filler, as far as I can tell from various sources.
  • However, the cost of a mistake has given ChatGPT and Bing extra hype push that may help it suck up some of Google’s search engine market share.
  • Regardless of how the battle continues, for today, MSFT has the Edge [forgive the pun] – it’s time to use your dry powder that I wrote about accumulating last time.
