Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the internet by storm. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is leading in this field. Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s Bing AI are slowly closing the gap. Microsoft has recently made a big move to attract more users by making Bing AI available on all web browsers, including Google Chrome and Apple Safari.
Microsoft recently made Bing AI available to Windows 11 users.
So, alternative browser users, such as those on Mac and Chrome OS, were previously deprive of this AI model.
Microsoft has finally start rolling out Bing.com AI support to all browsers, including Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari.
If you use Safari on your MacBook, you can access Bing AI through your browser.
You can access by clicking here without downloading or installing anything.
As this does not mean that you will have the same experience as a Windows 11 user.
Microsoft understandably sees other browsers as secondary platforms, and has impose some restrictions on this version of Bing AI.
The chat feature is limit to five messages per conversation, and the character count is limited to 2,000.
Microsoft keeps showing a “Start exploring in Edge” pop-up when you open Bing.com’s AI in Chrome.
If you are happy with your browser, as I am, these limits will get in your way.
Still, 2,000 characters is not a limit to be underestimate.
If you ask the right questions, five messages in a single chat are more than enough.
But if you find that insufficient, you can download Edge for an unlimited Bing AI experience, or you can browse alternatives.
Bing AI actually behaves more like an advance search engine than a chatbot.
So, this is about to change, as Microsoft is also working on a new feature for Bing AI call as “No search” mode.
Bing AI searches the web whenever you ask it a question.
This can sometimes be slow, as Bing has to crawl multiple websites and summarize the answer from scrap content.
With “No search” support, Bing could behave more like ChatGPT and respond to users using its AI capabilities, rather than crawling the web.
This is a very important feature, but it also carries some risks.
One of the most important risks is that the concept of search is in danger.
If search disappears and everyone controls everything they are curious about through platforms like Bing AI, we may not be need.
Artificial intelligence cannot obtain new information because no content is produced.
Companies like Microsoft and Google can provide this information.
Which would create a monopoly on an important issue such as information.
