I use ChatGPT every day too. Because Google is being such a shit about YouTube I am in the process of moving away from Google altogether. I use DuckDuckGo for search, which indirectly uses Bing. It's mostly OK. Sometimes I'm forced to try Google, it usually doesn't help. But for programming, yeah, StackOverflow feels downright regressive now.
I'm honestly kind of surprised about this news, considering how horrible Google's results are now.
I thought ChatGPT can't search the internet and is using a LLM snapshot from 2021?
And I thought Bing's ChatGPT model is allowed to search the internet live?
Doesn't that make Bing's version of ChatGPT superior?
GPT4 on ChatGPT was recently (last week ish) updated to include data up to April 2023.
I've found this to be kind of subjective. Bing/Bard is more current than ChatGPT but yet I just find ChatGPT to be better. It's snappier and more conversant with context. It seems to understand you when you chide it for not quite doing what you asked it to do, and it responds in kind. I mostly use it for programming to be fair, but even for other stuff, ChatGPT just somehow feels more... real? I can't quite put my finger on it.
There was a short time where Bing chat was kind of frighteningly real. Took them five seconds to nerf that shit and it's never been anywhere near the same.
Edit: I expect this answer to be out of date within 3 months. Things keep moving.
