I am surprised that they didn't get anyone to look over the financial reports response. Checking a bunch of numbers should be easy. The presentation must really have been put together in a hurry in order to beat Google.

I'm still really impressed by Bing Chat though. It's quite inaccurate a lot of the time with the small details, even when it searches the web. But it still has made discovering new stuff much much easier than it used to be. I was trying to describe to it a concept I wanted to achieve in Blender after not having used it for a long time, and although it couldn't give me a perfect step by step answer on the first attempt, I was able to converse with it about the mistakes and get it to suggest alternative ideas.

I think that's a bit of an overreaction. It's less than a week after launch and probably only a couple of percent of people on the waitlist have been given access, if that. This is early in the period of feedback and adjustments. Don't write off LLMs just yet. A recent paper suggests they can be taught to use APIs.

(By the way - OP was just having some fun of course, but could have swept away the conversation and started fresh with the broom button.)

What's in a name?

"Next-generation OpenAI model. We’re excited to announce the new Bing is running on a new, next-generation OpenAI large language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT and customized specifically for search. It takes key learnings and advancements from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5 – and it is even faster, more accurate and more capable."

You will be able to expand the sidebar thing, or go directly to the Chat tab, to talk to it in full screen just like ChatGPT. The search page sidebar is only there to make the new experience more visible. See https://medium.com/@owenyin/scoop-oh-the-things-youll-do-with-bing-s-chatgpt-62b42d8d7198

Given that this was announced only minutes before Microsoft announced the event tomorrow where they're expected to unveil the new GPT-powered Bing, they are probably scared of that rather than ChatGPT. I know Bing is a joke right now, but if it suddenly becomes a far better information assistant than Google simply by virtue of its ability to chat about search results and keep the context, that poses a huge threat (if the new Bing goes viral like ChatGPT did).

But it doesn't sound like Bard is going to be linked to the Google search engine just yet. The article mentions separate AI search integrations coming soon, but from the screenshots it just seems to generate a paragraph or two about the search, without citations.
