-Microsoft’s Bing Chat Rolls Out to Chrome and Safari
-Microsoft’s Bing Chat is no longer exclusive to the Edge browser, as it is now being made available for Chrome and Safari users. This move comes as Microsoft expands the testing phase of Bing Chat on other browsers.
While there are some limitations to consider, such as being logged into a Microsoft account and having prompts limited to 2,000 characters, the access to Bing Chat is gradually expanding to more users. Conversations reset after five queries instead of 30, and there is the occasional prompt to download Edge.
Powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, Bing Chat offers users a range of features without the need for payment. One notable difference is that Bing Chat has access to Bing Search, which enables it to provide more up-to-date information and sources for responses. However, OpenAI’s chat functionality typically offers more comprehensive and detailed responses.
Despite recent claims in a research paper that ChatGPT-4’s capabilities have declined, several experts have downplayed these conclusions. They believe that ChatGPT-4 continues to be a valuable tool for users.
As part of the rollout to other browsers, Microsoft has introduced a dark mode for Bing Chat. By clicking on the hamburger menu at the top right corner and selecting “Appearance/Dark,” users can enable this feature. However, it is important to note that the dark mode may not be available to all users at this time.
Overall, the expansion of Bing Chat to Chrome and Safari is an exciting development, allowing more users to access this powerful chat tool.
