Bing becomes the default search engine of ChatGPT
Microsoft has announced many AI innovations at the Build 2023 event, and one of them has strengthened the bond with OpenAI. The tech giant has announced that Bing has become the default search engine for ChatGPT. The chatbot will use Bing results for up-to-date answers.
Microsoft has been investing billions of dollars in OpenAI both to use its current technologies and also to help the company develop its products and work on new areas. In return, Microsoft gets to use the innovations that OpenAI brings to life, including ChatGPT. From now on, the chatbot will use Microsoft's Bing as its default search engine.
"Now, ChatGPT answers can be grounded by search and web data and include citations so you can learn more—all directly from within chat," said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's head of consumer marketing.
OpenAI's ChatGPT AI chatbot will leverage search and online data that also contains citations, similar to how Bing's chat experience is driven by GPT-4 and incorporates citations to links. The new search functionality is now available for ChatGPT Plus users, and a plug-in in ChatGPT will soon make it available to all free ChatGPT users.
"Foundational to our progress with the new Bing is our fantastic partnership with OpenAI. ChatGPT will now have a world-class search engine built-in to provide timelier and more up-to-date answers with access from the web," Mehdi added.
In order to enable interoperability between plug-ins for Bing Chat and ChatGPT, Microsoft has also committed to using the same open plug-in standard that OpenAI does for ChatGPT.
Microsoft and OpenAI partnership
OpenAI is one of the leaders in the field, and Microsoft has been working closely with the company for the future. With a view to investing $10 billion in OpenAI, the software powerhouse was in talks with the startup a couple of months ago.
What OpenAI has done might seem like a fairy tale, but it also came with a cost. The cost of creating the most well-known chatbot in use today, ChatGPT, nearly topped $540 million last year.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
