New era for Search: Microsoft adds ChatGPT’s power to Bing search engine and Edge browser

In a move that is bound to revolutionise internet searches and how we browse the internet in general, Microsoft launched an all-new, AI-powered version of their Bing search engine, as well as an updated version of their Edge browser. “It’s a new day for search,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said today. However, so dominant were Chrome and Google, that despite being the default search engine for Microsoft’s preinstalled Internet Explorer, and then the Edge browser Microsoft’s global market share remains in the low single digits. Today, at a press event in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft announced its long-rumoured integration of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model into Bing, providing a ChatGPT-like experience within the search engine.
