Microsoft x ChatGPT-powered Bing🧨: A new day in search

Daniel Rubino @Daniel_Rubino

I think AI is the most crucial shift in computing in the last 20 years, without question. That said, there is a lot of room for debate because this WILL transform everything, make no mistake. An excellent thought-provoking piece from @BoddyZachary.

windowscentral.comThe human cost of AI doesn’t matter to MicrosoftAI could be a beacon of innovation, but companies are only seeking profit.

Tom Warren @tomwarren

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Google competing with Bing’s new AI. “I hope with our innovation they will definitely want to come out and show that they can dance. I want people to know that we made them dance.” Fascinating interview with @reckless here: theverge.com/23589994/micro…

Daniel Newman @danielnewmanUV

Why @Microsoft first big #OpenAI and #ChatGPT announcements focused on search. Current market share is around 7% so a 10% gain could yield $20 billion annual revenue. $MSFT

Daniel Rubino @Daniel_Rubino

Nice. New Edge (Dev) with Bing button.

Dan Ives @DivesTech

Microsoft held an invite-only event at its Redmond headquarters to discuss further progress on a few exciting new projects including ChatGPT integration into Bing and Edge while discussing more about the partnership with OpenAI following its $10 billion deal. MSFT leading AI race

Gene Munster @munster_gene

While Microsoft showed an impressive demo of the integration at today’s event, the key question is how will it compare to $GOOG’s upcoming Bard tie-in with Google Search?

Kevin_Indig @Kevin_Indig

What I learned from today's Microsoft event: 🔘 Satya acknowledged, "the race is on" 🔘 Bing will still link to web results and aim to drive traffic to websites 🔘 Microsoft says the freshness of results is going to be shocking

Time to eat my own words. Microsoft says the new Bing will be live at this URL later today: bing.com/new A "same day launch" is not the same as declaring "available now" at the event, but it's still impressive.

This is the "tech behind the cool demos" and "Responsible AI" sections. Will need a lot of time to drill down to competently weigh in. Microsoft does has a few strong, core competencies and history. #GenerativeAI #ResponsibleAI (9/🧵) $MSFT

Lance Ulanoff @LanceUlanoff

So Microsoft has built a custom version of the generative AI used in ChatGPT to drive a reimagined Bing and its own chat called Co-Pilot. It's in Bing and deeply integrated with the new Microsoft Edge. It's some very smart stuff. #Microsoft

$MSFT stock getting a 2.5% boost amid ChatGPT/Bing event news. But the Microsoft search news isn't hurting Google yet -- $GOOG up 1.4%

Ari Dulchinos @Arintheia

Words can’t describe how excited I am for the Microsoft + OpenAI event happening as we speak & the unveiling of new search intelligence tech. I feel incredibly privileged I was able to intern on the Search Assistant & Intelligence team & learn from such bright people #microsoft

Alexei Oreskovic @lexnfx

Sam Altman at Microsoft HQ: Our teams share a commitment to make sure that this new technology is rolled out responsibly.

In a fun twist, AI is being used to author a Microsoft LinkedIn post.

Emil Protalinski @EPro

Huge miss by Microsoft that OpenAI's ChatGPT service isn't immediately available on Bing.com for everyone. The press event should trigger a software update. This isn't a hardware launch. The demand is there. Run with it.

As we've heard many times previously from @satyanadella, important not to screw up things with AI. Aligned with human values. Built into the base tech. (Hopefully not favoring one political leaning over the other.) (2/🧵) $MSFT
