I am confused by your takeaway; is it that Bing Chat is useless compared to Google? Or that it's so powerful that it's going to do something genuinely problematic?

Because as far as I'm concerned, Bing Chat is blowing Google out of the water. It's completely eating its lunch in my book.

If your concern is the latter; maybe? But seems like a good gamble for Bing since they've been stuck as #2 for so long.

They are publicly at least. Google probably has something at least as powerful internally that they haven't launched. Maybe they just had higher quality demands before releasing it publicly?

Google famously fired an engineer for claiming that their AI is sentient almost a year ago, it's likely he was chatting to something very similar to this Bing bot, maybe even smarter, back then.
