Have you tried Bing recently?

A lot has changed.

Go ahead, bing and google something a bit substantial, something that requires a nuanced and diverse response.

Then compare the trash that Google returns with the many different and more relevant results that Bing give you and the way it presents its findings.

Seriously, try it, I think you'll be shocked. Bing might be better than Google by a good margin now.

Maybe because you think Google is search when today it's more like looking up results in about 50 websites.

Go try Bing for a few searches and see if you agree.
 
In my industry, Bing has almost the same results as Google. One or two good resources at the top, followed by a ton of crap.

For one search, an Indian website stole my article (text and graphics), made no changes, and posted it. Google ranks them one spot ahead of me. Bing has them at #16 and doesn’t have my article anywhere on the first few pages.

A professional in my field would get what they need from the top one or two results. But they would immediately know that the other results are trash.

Honestly, my website is pure info with display ads and is everything that SGE can answer. I’m probably moving on from that. I’ll let it ride for as long as it makes ad money, but I’m switching my limited focus to a smaller site where I sell a product.

So long easy ad revenue.
 
How would an AI search engine be different?

Two different things?

Or are they going to use the same statistical analysis for training on website results, so basically when you search a keyword, it's not an algo as such, but a statistical computation of the url?

My guess is something along the same lines as Perplexity...

AI answers paired with sources from the web, video, etc. It also has a PAA box below the "Ask follow-up"

I'm not sure about Perplexity.

Why would the OpenAI search engine need Bing? Isn't it the other way around with Bing using the OpenAI API?

It seems to me that OpenAI has free reign of the web already and that they wouldn't have any need to integrate with Bing. Plus, Microsoft wins either way given their stake in OpenAI. So, they probably don't care... Maybe Microsoft even goes a step further and replaces Bing completely with this new engine...

Because they need a method to crawl the web?

If they're not piggybacking on someone else's crawler and indexer, then they need to develop that too.

I'm not technical enough to understand where the greatest difficulty is in running a search engine, but for Search to make sense, they need an index and a method of discovering new entries, which is crawling and indexing until now.
