just a reminder that much of reddit’s collective zeitgeist up to sept 2021 is available via chat-gpt, you just need to ask it the right way.

i’ve gotten best results by saying "what are common ways mentioned on reddit to <insert your question here >

you’ll need to create an account for chat-gpt - no credit card needed.

aldo the new search function in bing uses chat-gpt on the backend but combines it with bing data for more up to date content.

Still double check your info tho. Remember chatgpt is only emulating putting words in the right order to sound like a real person not exactly gathering the correct data. However I believe chatgpt4 has web browsing now plus bings AI as someone mentioned

I’ve actually used bing a lot (never thought I’d say that) because I didn’t want to give away my phone number with ChatGPT registration (I know I know, bing/microsoft have more than enough of my info and data). Bing has been really useful so far for work.

In what was have you used it as a part of work? (If you don’t mind me asking!)

Of course, no problem! The best example of its usefulness is that I can open a PDF in edge and ask bing to use the PDF to answer my questions. I often get documentation PDF’s that are 2000 - 5000 pages long and searching requires me to still read separate chapters to put the info I need together.

Another example: I work in industrial automation, searching for information by googling is a pain and very rarely gives me good results unless I really put a lot of time going through forum threads and manufacturer’s links that most of the time just ask you to contact support. Bing chat has been a life saver by finding answers from these forums and sometimes manufacturer’s pages which are several layers deep on their webpage and don’t always show up in google search.

Interesting. I’ve only dabbled with ChatGPT to check out its creative writing skills, and then later where it failed with any mathematical questions.

Do you feel comfortable/confident in trusting the responses you get from it?
