Yea i've never thought of using Bing. In fact i generally hate my Windows experience and vastly prefer Linux. Yet when this goes live i'll be there, trying it out, seeing how ChatGPT can integrate into my searches, answer questions, etc.

After all most Searches i execute are either direct questions or questions by proxy. I want to understand a specific function signature. I want to see the inputs, etc. This has been the area i've been most interested in for ChatGPT.

With that said it'll be interesting to see how it manages to merge the idea of searching with knowledge transfer. My searches are often proxies for questions, yes.. but almost always tailored for the Search Input. Ie i don't search with a question, i search with keywords tailored towards the search engine returning results that i suspect will lead me to an answer. Changing my Search Input might be a difficult task if it's necessary.

The best experience I've had so far is sort of asking for what I should be searching for. For example, starting a project in a new and unfamiliar domain. I tried searching for what I wanted and kept getting drowned in similar but unrelated responses. I explained what my problem was to ChatGPT and asked what the industry names and terms were. Using the response, my searches were instantly relevant.

It's even more helpful to configure webpack config.

I know this response is sincere and for that I cannot stop laughing. Thank you for the tip, as another webpack user.

I don't really get how it would be easier for this.

If you need a standard Webpack config that supports X, Y, and Z. There are tools that do this already much better than ChaptGPT (the Webpack CLI will do it for you).

If you need some esoteric config for your highly custom setup, I highly doubt that ChatGPT would be useful in anyway.

We need one tool to rule it all, we don't need 10 better tools.

I've been full on the Microsoft train for the last few years and am glad to see it finally paying off. I will no longer have to feel ashamed when sharing my screen and accidentally showing my coworkers my thousands of Bing rewards points

You get paid to bing?

There's a pretty good microsoftrewards subreddit and a sticky that explains everything. Won't pay off the mortgage but if you're a bing/windows/xbox user it can add up to gift cards, etc.

I’ve had several years of free XBox Live thanks to Bing paying me with rewards.

Even before this I had started using Bing a lot more than I used to.

Anecdotally I think Bing is still a little dumber, but Google has been so overrun with SEO spam that its pretty much useless anyway.
