Microsoft introduced a "smart" search engine Bing with a chat bot

The web search paradigm has not changed for decades, but with artificial intelligence, a whole new stage of its development begins, said CEO Satya Nadella.
Microsoft as part of a special press presentation introduced "the new Bing" is a search engine that supports 100 languages and is paired with a new generation of artificial intelligence based on ChatGPT. According to the developers, such a duet will allow "to give complete answers to real user questions."
Users will be able to chat in Bing like ChatGPT, asking questions and getting answers in natural language. Several search modes will be available: in one of them, traditional search results will be displayed next to the AI annotations, while another mode allows you to directly communicate with the Bing chatbot in chat interface.
The presentation showed many examples of such interaction. In one of them, the system was asked “where to fly for the anniversary in September so that the flight from London Heathrow Airport takes no more than three hours.” The chatbot described a number of options along with comments and links to sources for more information.
Unlike ChatGPT, the new Bing can receive news about the latest events from the Web. This allows him to use the most up-to-date information and offer the most relevant answers.
Microsoft says all of these AI features are based on an updated version of GPT 3.5, the OpenAI language model that supports ChatGPT. The system is called the "Prometheus Model" and, according to the developers, it is much more powerful than GPT 3.5, and better responds to search queries with up-to-date information.
The new Bing is available here bing.com/new, but only for a limited preview and only in the US. Users from other countries can still join the waiting list. Later, the new search can be used in the Microsoft Edge browser. The chatbot will open there as a separate sidebar.
