Microsoft’s Bing Chat used to be exclusively available for Microsoft Edge in the past. However, now it has expanded to include Chrome and Safari, making it no longer exclusive to the Edge browser. A Microsoft spokesperson stated, “As part of our testing on other browsers, we are providing access to Bing Chat on Safari and Chrome by selecting users.” This means that currently, Bing Chat is accessible for Chrome, and it is on its way to becoming available for Safari as well.
Now, it’s Safari’s turn for AI-powered Bing Chat!
A Microsoft spokesperson added, “After completing our standard testing procedures, we look forward to expanding access to even more users.” This suggests that currently, there are some users who have access to Bing Chat on Safari, but it is limited. Therefore, the addition of Bing Chat to Safari seems to be more than just a small-scale test. Microsoft aims to conduct thorough testing and ensure stability before gradually making it available to a broader audience.
Although Bing Chat is no longer exclusive to Edge, it still has some limitations when used on other browsers. Users are required to sign in with their Microsoft account, and the character limit is restricted to 2,000 characters compared to 4,000 characters on Edge. Conversations are reset after only 5 questions instead of 30, and there is constant pressure to download Edge.
Currently, when you visit OpenAI’s website, you can use the ChatGPT version based on GPT-3.5 without payment. Bing Chat is supported by OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4, allowing users to access this more advanced version without the need for payment. This means that with the arrival of Bing Chat on Safari, many users will now be able to benefit from ChatGPT-4 for free.
In addition to all this, there are indeed some differences between Bing Chat and ChatGPT-4 due to Bing Chat having access to Bing Search, while ChatGPT-4 does not have its own native access to external sources. As a result, Bing Chat can provide more up-to-date information and sources for its answers. However, ChatGPT-4 has its own standout feature. Compared to Bing Chat, ChatGPT-4 delivers more detailed responses.
So, if you were to ask if ChatGPT-4 has any standout features, the answer is yes. It excels in providing more in-depth answers compared to Bing Chat.
