When you visit the Google's chatbot bard's website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat's. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?

Does Bard work with VPNs? Microsoft has completely blocked access.

Bing works with vpn. At least if you are logged in

Welp. I can't remember my MS account credentials ever since W10 nuked itself and my entire C: partition, which caused me to switch to Linux. And at this point I really cannot be arsed to go through recovery or create a new one, especially when they just give you a "network error" without any further explanation.

I like this way better than Microsoft just showing popups trying you to stick to their browser.

Ngl though I do really like this.

Bing has got to the be the worst AI chat there is so I have a feeling this is going to backfire. It's so over-sensitive as to be completely useless. It's like what would happen if you let your average redditor write the results.

Prompt: Tell me Keanu Reeves 3 worst movies.

Bing/average redditor: I don't like the term worst because it divides things into good and bad and all things are special in some way. I think all Keanu Reeves movies were great. I no longer wish to continue this conversation. How about we switch to a new topic?

......also Microsoft has been doing BS like this for a while. Search for chrome on Bing and the top result is a banner That says something like "Why search for chrome? There's no need to switch."

Dude, it was not literal. I'm not"exposed." grow up.

Like most AIs, it used to be good until they handicapped it for having the possibility of saying controversial things.
