    Microsoft invested into OpenAI, and chatGPT answers those questions correctly. Bing, however, uses simplified version of GPT with its own modifications. So, it is not investment into OpenAI that created this stupidity, but “Microsoft touch”.

    On more serious note, sings Bing is free, they simplified model to reduce its costs and you are swing results. You (user) get what you paid for. Free models are much less capable than paid versions.

        Sure, but the meme implies Microsoft paid $3 billion for bing ai, but they actually paid that for an investment in chat gpt (and other products as well).

        This isn’t even a Bing AI. It’s a Bing search feature like the Google OneBox that parses search results for a matching answer.

        It’s using word frequency matching, not a LLM, which is why the “can I do A and B” works at returning incorrect summarized answers for only “can I do A.”

        You’d need to show the chat window response to show the LLM answer, and it’s not going to get these wrong.

      Was this phone+autocorrect snafu or am I having a medical emergency?

        It was called Bing Chat, and now it’s called Copilot. It’s also not the same as the search bar. You have to click on the chat next to search to use it, which this person doesn’t do.

      I don’t think this is true. Why would Microsoft heavily invest in ChatGPT to only get a dumber version of the technology they were invested in? Bing AI is built using ChatGPT 4 which is what OpenAI refer to as the superior version because you have to pay for it to use it on their platform.

      Bing AI uses the same technology and somehow produces worse results? Microsoft were so excited about this tech that they integrated it with Windows 11 via Copilot. The whole point of this Copilot thing is the advertising model built into users’ operating systems which provides direct data into what your PC is doing. If this sounds conspiratorial, I highly recommend you investigate the telemetry Windows uses.
