   I tried ChatGPT's new "Search with Bing", searching for my name, and I can't argue too much. 😂

   Apart from the fact that it didn't pick up on the fact that German is my mother tongue. Probably because I don't post much content in German...

     if / when it returns mistakes or falsehoods, I wonder how you go about rescuing your reputation or correcting mistakes.
     Does it provide real working links to your online presence or where it got its facts?

     I wonder if Bing or ChatGPT can be held for libel. The presentation is more publishing than search result, even if it is automated.

     @shiawase yes, the numbers you can see are links to the sources

     @shiawase agreed, with my name it’s easier. It looks like it takes search results and puts a conversational front on top of them - in my case, most of the info seemed to come from LinkedIn and Instagram (where I post publicly). It also seems to concentrate on professional information (at least when searching for people) rather than personal - e.g. it would only tell me that I liked cats after I was probing it.

     an improvement over the non-working links from chatGPT before. I wonder if the prompt searches normally then summarizes the top links.

     Your name is almost a ‘google whack’. So I’d expect an accurate result. I think mine might return a Japanese scholar or an American jurist namesake. at best.

     I’m undecided if it’s better or worse than regular search. (I only had the daily 4 wishes to experiment)
