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.

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.
