ChatGPT on Bing: what are the differences with a traditional search engine?
When you do a classic search, the search engine will show you a list of different links that you can visit separately. The Bing powered by ChatGPT functions will aggregate the information found online to offer you a single text where everything will be summarized. Note that it will also cite its sources so that you can access the links it refers to.
In addition to its ability to generate creative texts (stories, poems, film pitch, etc.), Bing also stands out from a traditional search engine thanks to its conversational robot. You can naturally chat with him to get clarification on a subject by asking him questions as you go.
