Introducing Bing Artificial Intelligence; Microsoft’s firm step in AI

It is impossible to find a corner of the world of technology and technology in which Microsoft is not present. This company is one of the most critical players in artificial intelligence. One of this company’s latest products and achievements, the Bing AI chatbot, has provided the possibility of more innovative and valuable searches for Internet users. Bing’s artificial intelligence uses the same technology as ChatGPT and aims to simulate human conversations using technology like GPT. This model will probably completely change the way of searching on the Internet.

But what is the artificial intelligence mechanism of the Bing browser, and how can it be used? In this article, we will answer these questions. Join us and get acquainted with one of the most important and latest technological developments significantly impacting human life.

What is Bing’s artificial intelligence mechanism?

Bing AI is a search engine developed based on the GPT-4 generative machine learning model. The algorithms of this machine, like any other artificial intelligence machine, receive a large set of data as the sources of their answers and answer the questions by combining and improving them.

Microsoft’s AI machine is also connected to the Bing search engine and, as a result, uses Internet resources as its primary data. Bing artificial intelligence is a natural language AI (Natural Language AI). So, users can communicate with it the same way humans speak and get innate responses. Rather than several websites and pages, these answers are more factual and summarize the information in them. Its user experience is also similar to GPT chat. For example, ask, “What kind of dress is appropriate for a formal party?” Then you can ask, “If most people at the party are elderly, what colors would be best to combine?”

In short, Bing AI is a modified search engine that delivers personalized results. The machine runs on Microsoft servers and can be accessed through the Bing search engine and the Edge web browser.

 

History of Bing Artificial Intelligence Development

OpenAI, the owner of the ChatGPT bot, developed the GPT-4 generative model used in Bing’s artificial intelligence. Microsoft and several other large companies fund this technology research company. Elon Musk also joined this project at the beginning and invested in it.

On February 7, 2023, Microsoft introduced a limited preview of the Bing chatbot. At that time, using this robot was only possible for a certain number of people. The company initially said its new bot will run on the next generation of the Open AI Large Language Model (Open AI LLM). But five weeks later, it was announced that the latest version of the Open AI language, GPT-4, had been used for this purpose. On May 4, 2023, this car became available to everyone.

How to use Bing artificial intelligence

 

 

As we said before, to use the browser equipped with Bing AI, open this search engine. Then, you need to open a Microsoft account and sign in. For this purpose, you must use the latest version of Bing on Windows 11 or Windows Copilot.

If you use the Edge browser, clicking the blue Bing AI logo with the letter B will open the Bing artificial intelligence interface. This chatbot is free to use, and unlike JPT chat, it does not require registration on the waiting list. Updated versions of Microsoft Edge browser work on Windows 10 and above.

The Best way to interact with the Bing chatbot

Bing’s artificial intelligence search method is no different from search engines, But it is better to ask your question like a conversation. For example, instead of searching for “the best vegetarian meal,” you could ask, “How can I make a vegetarian meal for two?” After that, a small box will be displayed above all the results of the Bing AI search among all the sources. You can ask supplementary and corrective questions in this box and continue the conversation. For example, you can ask which of the suggested foods is more caloric. How long does it take to make them? How much does it cost, etc?

Types of Bing AI bot responses

By clicking ChatBot at the top of the Bing search engine page, you can customize the responses you receive. For example, you can summarize, paraphrase, or paraphrase answers and change the subject. It is also possible to ask the robot to help you in writing articles, poems, songs, stories, etc.

Another remarkable feature of Bing’s artificial intelligence is the ability to convert text into images and vice versa. This significant development has been achieved by integrating this machine with the DALL-E model. There is a possibility that Midjourney artificial intelligence is also developing.

 

Limitations on Bing’s Use of Artificial Intelligence

The use of Bing’s intelligent chatbot currently has some limitations. The most important of them is the limit of 20 questions per conversation and 200 chats per day. These restrictions are supposed to be gradually reduced or changed to improve the user experience. For example, in late May 2023, some users reported that their version of Bing had a limit of 200 chats per day changed to a limit of 4,000 characters.

Comparison of artificial intelligence of Bing and Google Bard

 

Microsoft announced the integration of its search engine with artificial intelligence and ChatGPT just a day after the introduction of Google’s intelligent chatbot, Google Bard. Bard is an AI conversational chat service that, like Bing AI, is powered by information from the web.

Unlike Bing, Google does not use GPT-4 but its model called LaMDA. The responses of this model are smaller, but the CEO of Google has recently said that this machine will be equipped with the PaLM model soon.

Also, various studies show that Google Bard’s answers have more errors than Bing’s. It is said that dozens of ready-made Open AI plugins have come to Bing’s help in this regard. Of course, it is essential to mention that receiving similar answers from artificial intelligence machines is not a correct expectation Because AI’s generative and human-like nature causes different solutions to be produced. This fact is also true for both Bing AI and ChatGPT, which use the same models.

From a user perspective, the most critical differences between Bing AI and Google Bard can be summarized as follows:

  • Google Bard gives more informative answers, while Bing’s chatbot is more about quick access to information.
  • Google Bard personalizes the answers more, But Bing’s information is more general.
  • Google Bard also allows integration with other Google products, such as Maps and Assistant.

The Future of Bing Artificial Intelligence

At the end of this article, it is good to mention the benefits of Bing AI for businesses. By using this machine, business operators can better understand customers’ needs and behavior. A topic that will optimize marketing activities and especially the methods of improving ranking in search engines. It is said that this technology will create a revolution in industries such as automation, robotics, data analysis, education, etc. Of course, before that, Microsoft needs to find solutions for its current challenges, such as the accuracy and variety of answers and the limitations of its chats.
