If, like me, you got on the waiting list for the new artificial intelligence (AI) search engine Bing with GPT-4, you’ll have noticed that it only took a day or two to get you on the list.
This time, Microsoft is going even faster (to overtake the web search engine giant, Google) by announcing that it will remove the waiting list. Anyone can now register and use the chatbot managed by ChatGPT-4.
By registering on the new Bing, access will be activated immediately after you have received a confirmation email.
If you’d like to try accessing the new Bing, go to bing.com/new, click the waitlist button, and sign in with your Microsoft account. You should get access immediately.
Microsoft’s waitlist change comes just a day after the company confirmed that its Bing AI chatbot was secretly running on GPT-4, OpenAI’s next-generation AI language model.
AI in Office products
The delisting also comes a day before Microsoft is hosting an event where the US giant plans to showcase ChatGPT-like AI additions to its Office productivity software, Teams and more to Outlook.
Microsoft announced its new artificial intelligence on Bing last month and opened a waiting list the same day. The company has gradually opened up the waiting list and limited the number of questions you can ask per session per day.
These restrictions were put in place to prevent the chatbot from exhibiting “messy” behavior. Bing users with AI can now ask 15 questions per session for a maximum of 150 per day.
