According to Microsoft officials, it is been asserted that the search engine is better than its rival Google. The company has claimed that India has emerged as one of the top three markets for Microsofts New Bing preview, which has ChatGPT incorporated into it. Powered by Chat GPT, Microsoft launched the new Bing preview on February 7. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022.Microsoft in an official statement said, “Search has changed and will change. Its not going away. Just like when television came into existence, radio didnt go away, but TV got a lot more excitement. The same will happen here. The new capabilities of AI of chat of answers are now increasingly exciting because theyre helping answer questions that search didnt do. And with Bing, we are unique in that leadership today.”Additionally, it is asserted that Bings aesthetic features, such as the new knowledge cards, have enhanced search results. According to the official, Google does not provide the distinctive elements of the new Bing preview, such as knowledge cards and storefronts. In contrast to Googles strategy, which includes a separate chat product called Bard that is independent of Google search, Bing is one integrated product. The new Bing has been receiving very positive feedback from Indian users. The Microsoft official further said that the feedback is overwhelmingly positive as people prefer it as a new way to search, not just the answers, but the ability to chat and search. Thats an important thing because it marks a difference between us and Google. He further added that according to Google, chat has nothing to do with search and they both are separate platform products. But we think that it is an integrated product. The company also believes that the latest development will also have an impact on the news industry as well.Bing Chat is now on Android via SwiftKeyBing Chat AI has now been added by Microsoft to the SwiftKey Android keyboard.
