How to Use Bing AI Chat in Edge, Chrome and Firefox.
Microsoft's Bing search engine has been around for a long time, but it is not as popular and powerful as Google's search engine. Microsoft wants to change that, hence the Bing AI search engine with integrated Artificial Intelligence.
Bing AI Search is an AI copilot for the web as Microsoft claims, that integrates ChatGPT, a powerful chatbox AI, with the Bing search engine to help users find information and answer their queries faster and more efficiently.Unlike ChatGPT, Bing AI Chat is running on a more advanced language model and an even broader dataset to find up-to-date information for users' questions and searches. You can ask complex questions and the Chatbox will give you detailed answers in human-like responses. It can even summarize long articles, compare items on a web page and provide additional information.
Officially, Bing AI Chat only works with Microsoft Edge. If you want to try the new Bing AI Chat feature but don't want to use Microsoft Edge, then in this guide we'll show you how to access Bing Chat AI in your favorite browser Chrome or Firefox.
