I would assume companies like this store any data you give the. What's going to stop them?

TIL Bing Chat exists

[–] DigitalTraveler42 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Exactly, I work on mostly Microsoft cloud platforms and I've never heard of anybody using bing chats, hardly anybody even uses bing at all, I run edge chromium and DuckDuckGo on my work computers, who even uses Bing?

[–] WiseMoth 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t use Bing search (who would?). But Bing chat is honestly really good

Which is why (iirc) DuckDuckGo uses bing as the actual search engine.

Edit: misread your comment, thought it said bing (as in the search) is honestly really good

Which imo it is, once you strip out all the other bullshit like DuckDuckGo does

[–] WiseMoth 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I actually use DDG if I ever need a search engine. I love the !bang feature so much

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's honestly pretty good. It's honestly pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

All 5 people who use Bing chat are having their chats stored?

[–] WiseMoth 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Bing chat is actually really good. Way better than Bard. It’s legit just ChatGPT with web access

[–] ech0 2 points 2 years ago

Yea fr. Everyone in here sounding like Boomers. Bing Chat is amazing. I use it to fix code all the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Jup. I use it a lot as well. Definitely works very well.

[–] Qvest 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s legit just ChatGPT because it’s just ChatGPT. Microsoft is investing heavily in OpenAI

[–] WiseMoth 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, I know. That’s what I said. Legit means legitimately

[–] Qvest 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sorry, I read your post wrong

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I’m just going to post my entire Bing Chat history here, to get ahead of it:
