What’s Sipping? ☕In just 48 hours, more than 1 million individuals signed up for the waitlist to check out the new Bing Search with integrated ChatGPT capabilities, according to Microsoft.

Fastest 1M:

In one week, OpenAI’s ChatGPT gained one million users.

“We’re humbled and energized by the number of people who want to test-drive the new AI-powered Bing! In 48 hours, more than 1 million people have joined the waitlist for our preview,” Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft, tweeted about it.

Microsoft unveiled its revamped Bing, which is driven by “next-generation” ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI), as well as an upgrade to its Edge browser that includes new AI features.

The AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser are now available for preview on Bing.com, with the goal of “delivering better search, more complete answers, a new chat experience, and the potential to generate content,” according to the tech giant.

These tools serve as an “AI copilot for the web,” according to the company.

“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all — search,” said Nadella.

The New Bing:

The new Bing provides users with an upgraded version of the conventional search experience. The improved search engine is driven by the next-generation OpenAI large language model, which is more powerful than ChatGPT.

It provides more relevant results for typical queries such as sports scores, market prices, and weather, as well as a new sidebar that reveals further in-depth information if consumers require it.

Microsoft also revealed that it has updated the Edge browser with new AI capabilities and a new sidebar that provides more in-depth information if users require it.
