More and more I have been using the Bing β€œchat” search. It does a search, filters through the results and summarizes the answer with links to the sites it found them on.

For certain types of search it is a huge time saver of scrolling through results to find answers on various pages.

Over all bing search it self isn’t bad.

Dunno why you're getting down voted. It's literally a search engine that can read all the bullshit faster than you, so that you don't have to.

I downvoted because I have literally no idea what that guy is talking about.

Bing has never been a good search engine. The results are always so terrible, plus you have to wade through all the Microsoft click-baity crap they put everywhere.

I do like Bing for porn tho...

Notice that they said chat. It this new thing where a language model (GPT) formulates the search queries and summarizes them to provide an answer.
