Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT with Bing is really bad. No-one wants a busy search page with a side-bar of ChatGPT; what's the point of that?

The correct interface for ChatGPT + search is just...ChatGPT. But it can also show you a list of web search results, when it's appropriate.

A super-clean interface, that always shows you exactly what you want.

That would be a killer feature and represent a real threat to Google.

As someone else said, the problem is ChatGPT lies straight to your face, whereas at least Google's answers are based on structured data by someone. It's traceable, whereas I would not trust ChatGPT ever to tell me the correct temperature to cook a steak.

Yes, it's a good point -- in its current form it's a bit hit or miss, since it can completely lie to you.

At least one person is working on this:

While something like this would of course be incredible, even just current ChatGPT + the ability to web search for you would be quite amazing.

If MS isn't ready to completely replace Bing, then they should've made it an entirely separate page: bchat.com or something.

Even this kind of project only helps so much. ChatGPT has absolutely no understanding of anything, it just regurgitates words and sentences in a way that sounds like it knows something. It's next sentence might be completely, dangerously wrong. You can't even claim that it lies to you. It needs to have an inkling of the truth to be able to lie in the first place. It's basically a well-trained parrot that has learned when to say the right combinations of phrases it's memorized at the right time in the right order to earn a treat. It has no idea what any given word means, let alone what it just said.

If someone built something that parsed sentences, stored facts, learned relationships between them, learned enough language processing to make connections between them in order to be able to say something new about the subject it didn't already know before-hand, then I'd be on that train. Right now I only see misery in our future if we just work on honing ChatGPT and it's ilk to better simulate BS.
