Joke's on them, I could already browse the internet.

Of course the article sounds stupid, it's written by GPT too.

It's freaking MSN. Two weeks ago, they published an article describing a recently deceased basketball player as having become "useless" now.

That was a very "robot" point of view, I guess.

It's a direct reprint of a Reuters article. Which you would have seen had you just looked.

Apparently so.

I saw the source was Reuters, but didn't see it was unedited. I wonder what's the excuse for the dumb title then.

I mean it's not wrong. Except maybe fertiliser I guess.

Probably good ai hasn't made that connection yet.

Ok please enlighten us with the many uses for a dead basketball player.

Jk

I wonder what the practical difference will be between accessing ChatGPT through Bing vs accessing Bing through ChatGPT. I don't have a premium account with OpenAI so I cannot test myself. Anyone given it a whirl?

In my experience ChatGPT and Bing provide completely different output for the same prompt.

It's the same underlying technology but the end product is completely different. I find ChatGPT Plus infinitely more useful than Bing.

As a test, I just had a chat with both about a big news story that dropped yesterday... and both answered the questions reasonably well, but they weren't the same at all and I preferred ChatGPT.

Well, I have premium yet nothing shows up. So nothing changed?
