What's the advantage of using Bing chat over chatgpt? The premium version allows search, and you don't need to download a different browser to use it.

It's free, so when I need to ask about something in the news today, I'll use Bing. Granted I use a browser extension that lets me use Bing in Firefox.

These are useful tools, but not useful enough that I'm willing to pay for them when there's free options.

I have to use Edge and Bing at work. I've gotten so used to how I have Firefox and DDG set up as my browser and search on my phone and home computer that using Edge & Bing is uncomfortable - the results page is just a cluttered mess. Is the link an ad? A real result?

Why would I think that Bing chat is anything other than a gimmick? There's no incentive to use something that might turn out to be just another way for Microsoft to get more data from me.
