Bing Chat will apparently offer users a way to turn off its search engine capabilities so you can use it as a standalone chatbot like ChatGPT.
This may seem strange because Bing Chat is already powered by ChatGPT, but this appears to be the direction Microsoft is moving toward. Tech news site Windows Latest recently tried out the new mode, even claiming it’s just as good as OpenAI’s signature AI model. The website states responses were generated faster with the search integration turned off. However, they noticed the AI would alternate between giving out outdated and up-to-date information depending on the query.
