90-95% of your searches don't require information more recent than September 2021?

That sounds about right for me. When I'm searching the web for information, only rarely does that information have to be newer than that.

That said, I'm not a fan of using these tools for search. For me, anyway, they don't even come close to doing what I want when I'm searching the web.

in my exp. bing even hallucinates the sources. I use chatgpt and bing side by side instead of the average google, then resort to google with those both fail.

i find chatgpt 3.5 answers better than bing. Also ive had bing end conversion with me on more than one occasion without saying anything offensive

bing actually uses search results as part of the llm context window.

it solves a lot for hallicination and current event problems you have in chatgpt

No. In few cases where there is time sensitivity, it's not an issue.

I'm using it to help me with a library integration, for example. I noticed it was recommending deprecated methods. So I copy/pasted the latest source code, asked it to update itself, and voilá.

It's super smart and learns literally in a second. Just drop recent information at it and ask what you need.
