More than a search engine, combining search results with AI tech & toolsMicrosoft’s “New Bing” is dubbed as more than a search engine as it combines search results with OpenAI-based artificial intelligence technology. The end result is a versatile tool that combines search, chat, and creativity in one place. You can think of the new Bing as having an assistant, personal planner, and creative partner at your side whenever you’re online.
Beyond providing search results, it can understand and respond to complex questions, offering detailed responses that are directly related to what you’ve asked. Plus, it can generate images from prompts using OpenAI’s technology known as DALL·E.
Using Bing is as straightforward as possible. You ask a question and get the answer. Need help understanding the answer? Ask for clarification or request more information. You’ll get it all.
Beyond asking “who’s someone” or “what purpose some object serves,” Bing can also help you organize your life by suggesting trip plans or providing context-aware information. For instance, you can ask about the nearest beaches or ask to suggest things to do in any place in the world. Or you could ask it to write a poem for you.
Another cool feature worth mentioning is the Bing Image Creator, which can generate images from natural language descriptions. Powered by OpenAI’s DALL·E, it can return amazing results in just a few seconds — with your imagination being the only limiting factor for the technology.
Microsoft has made a big move with the new, AI-powered Bing, quickly gaining popularity even among die-hard Google fans. If you still haven’t tried it, now’s your chance to do so.
