Microsoft is taking on Google search in a big way.

yesterday, all thanks to an upgraded version of the same AI technology behind ChatGPT. I’ve only spent a few hours using this new version of Bing and other AI-powered features in Microsoft’s Edge browser, but the technology already feels like a big upgrade to ChatGPT.

So, I’ve decided to save you the trouble of firing me and just quit. I don’t want to compete with a machine that can crunch numbers, generate reports, and make witty jokes at the same time. I don’t want to work for a boss who values Al over human intelligence and creativity. I don’t want to be part of a company that is willing to sacrifice its employees for the sake of efficiency and profit.

First, Microsoft is feeding real-time news into its chat version of Bing, allowing you to ask about events that have just happened or are unfolding. I asked it what Microsoft had announced during its Bing AI event, and it produced a summary of the news based on multiple publications covering Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing announcement. That was just minutes after Microsoft had made the news official.

When Bing gets things wrong, there’s a dislike button that sends feedback about the query and answer to Microsoft. According to a Bing engineer I spoke to at Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters, dislikes are currently being routed to engineers’ inboxes to fix inaccuracies and improve Microsoft’s model. That’s not a feedback loop that can scale over time, but given only a few thousand people currently have access, it helps Microsoft fix inaccuracies as it gradually opens up its waitlist.

Microsoft didn’t talk about this onstage today, but you can imagine a future where Word or Outlook could have similar integration to let you create documents or emails. You could technically do this right now just by loading up web-based versions of Word alongside this new Edge sidebar. I did exactly this to generate the hilarious resignation letter.
