It's funny to see Microsoft releasing products that are direct competitors to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT was released, and soon after came Bing Chat (now Copilot). ChatGPT-4 garnered crowds of subscribers and now MS has launched Copilot Pro, charging exactly the same as ChatGPT-4 ($20).

I wonder how this will affect the relationship between the two companies in the medium to long term.

edit: What I mean is that eventually one of the two tools might win an absolute majority of users. This could lead to a monopoly. Of course, MS can keep both tools indefinitely to avoid antitrust lawsuits.

Microsoft allegedly owns 49% of OpenAI shares. They are both the same, just with a different disguise.

There very different tool though.

Gpt-4 is (believe it or not) way less restrictive, it offers state of the art simulated intelligence with almost no hand holding.

Copilot is a set of ai tools integrated in Microsoft software that can be controlled with natural language, it includes an llm and is powered by gpt4 but anyone who has used bouth can tell the big difference in quality of intelligence.

Copilot is also the name of the Bing Chat search now.

Why would this change anything with the 'relationship' between them? Why do they even have a 'relationship'. It's business.

I made a poor choice of words.
