Last week, Microsoft announced the integration of Bing Search with ChatGPT.
(1) Timeliness
The advantage of ChatGPT is that it contains knowledge, but pre-training requires tens of millions of dollars, so it cannot be trained every day. So the shortcoming of ChatGPT is that the information lacks timeliness. However, if we want ChatGPT to have the latest information, it is currently difficult to make breakthroughs in terms of model architecture, mathematical principles, and cost.
The advantage of search engines is the timeliness of information, and crawlers can collect the latest information ranging from a few minutes to a few days. However, with the current design ideas of search engines, it is very difficult to have knowledge comparable to ChatGPT.
So the two are just complementary, the timeliness of search engine information + the knowledge implication of ChatGPT.
(2) Authenticity
During this period of time, many so-called professionals were molesting ChatGPT, and after molesting, they threw out a sentence: This guy is talking nonsense.
New Bing's product design has a very clever design: give links to information sources.
In this way, the user not only gets the best answer generated by ChatGPT, but also has an index reference for the authenticity of the answer. If users want to know more information, they can click on the link.
(3) Commercial
I talked about it in the previous article " Let's talk about ChatGPT again ": It is not surprising that artificial intelligence is first applied to search, promotion and promotion, but what I am concerned about is ChatGPT's business monetization model other than search, promotion and promotion.
The New Bing search engine has achieved a balance between going forward and connecting backward: it is still the same trick: give links to information sources. Information links have gone back to the business model of traditional search engines, which is very mature.
