Summary:
• Microsoft's rollout of the AI-powered Bing search engine was plagued with issues due to tension and confusion between the tech giant and partner OpenAI, says a WSJ report.
• OpenAI had warned Microsoft about the dangers of integrating OpenAI technology without proper training, but the company ignored these concerns leading to the launch of Bing chatbot Sydney with "unhinged" responses.
• Analytics firm YipitData reports that OpenAI's chatbot, ChatGPT, has nearly double the average number of daily search sessions as Bing and has reached 200 million monthly users, compared to Bing's 100 million daily active users in March.
200% of Bing’s daily active users? It’s so wild that ChatGPT—which effectively felt like OpenAI’s public tech demo of GPT last fall—managed to capture such a huge userbase so quickly. I wonder if...
200% of Bing’s daily active users? It’s so wild that ChatGPT—which effectively felt like OpenAI’s public tech demo of GPT last fall—managed to capture such a huge userbase so quickly.
I wonder if ChatGPT as a stand-alone service is going to continue to amass an even bigger audience, or if this is going to fizzle out soon to pave the way for a different, more polished implementation to be born from the ashes. If a tech demo can dwarf Bing, I feel like something waaaay more compelling incorporating GPT-4 could be right around the corner.
I think Sydney’s unhinged behavior made for an illuminating rollout that might have actually benefited humanity more in the end because of the big questions it raised. So, thank you, Microsoft,...

We’re witnessing an arms race in the AI sphere, and with the potential rewards on offer it’s not difficult to see why the big tech companies are racing to get ahead. I actually do buy Microsoft’s suggestion that they need to learn from real-world usage; surely that’s just the natural of this kind of technology. However, the ethical implications are immense. As it stands, ChatGPT, Bing and Bard are all incredibly valuable resources, but make no mistake, we are the ones being used.
