Microsoft has wasted their opportunity.

When ChatGPT first came out, Satya and Microsoft were seen as visionaries for their wisdom in investing in Open AI. Then competitors caught up while Microsoft stood still. Their integration with ChatGPT produced poor results [1] reminding people of Tay [2]. Bing failed to capitalize on AI, while Proclarity showed what an AI-powered search engine should really look like. Copilot failed to live up to its promise. Then Claude.ai, Gemini 2.0 caught up with or exceeded ChatGPT, and Microsoft still doesn't have their own model.

I'll add, that Google search AI integration is quite good. I'm actually amazed how well it works, given the scale of Google Search. Nowadays I don't click search results in 50% of searches, because Google AI outputs response good enough for me.

this is the first I've heard of anyone praising it... the results are usually outright wrong or useless.

A lot of folks probably just assume it's correct

My buddy learned this last week when we went out of the way to get gas at a wholesale store and he swore he looked it up and claimed it was open late. Well, it wasn’t.
