"The ????? ????? ??????new Bing" is still invite-only, but you can preview how it works.

Since Microsoft announced a new and improved version of its search engine integrated with OpenAI's ChatGPT technology, select users have been granted early access to test it out. There's currently a waitlist to receive access when Microsoft rolls out Bing to more users in the coming weeks. But if you're dying to see how it works, you can see a live demo on desktop now.

It's worth noting that it includes crunches as a part of the workout, which is kind of like a mini sit-up, so Bing definitely still has some work to do.

How to chat with Bing

At the end of the response, the preview suggests various follow-up questions, like "Can you show me how to do push up?" Clicking on the questions opens a chat window where you can talk through your question in real time with Bing's chatbot. Currently, clicking on the questions only shows a demo conversation of the vegetarian dinner party menu question, but it gives you an idea of what to expect.

How's early access Bing testing going?

Naturally, early access users are putting the new Bing to the test, and results posted online show mixed results. One user's prompt was reportedly met with some aggressive gaslighting, while another seemed to have struck a nerve with Bing upon being asked it if was sentient. So, not quite the friendly Bing showing up in the preview. Regardless, it's exciting to see where the technology goes in the coming weeks.
