Do you think Bing has a chance to challenge Google?

If ChatGPT's free plan works without limitations, Bing will certainly challenge Google's search engine (specially given the way the Bard presentation went).

Considering google have control over andriod and bing have windows. It is going to be interesting to see how things will playout. I am still in bing side to atleast change the share.

If Google doesn't bring an AI-enabled chat within a few weeks, let's say a month, Bing will take some more of the market share. It won't pose a threat any soon, though. I've already switched to Edge+Bing a year back, and I don't miss a thing. Except for occasional in-depth searches, where I need more data, I go to Google (even DuckDuckGo) but for the rest of the day, I'm with my Windows default.

Still early to say conclusively but Google has already issued "red alert"

It seems most disruptive effect is not the ChatGPT technology itself (LLM), but the idea that Google is not a god of search and ads (the one and for all times) that is too big and powerful to fall. ChatGPT itself is not a replacement for google search in any way, but now a lot of people start thinking about a better alternative. Real barbarians that can destroy Google Ads Empire are only about to born, but now they have a chance to grow. This may be Bing, but this can be a totally new face with a different business model (like, say, Kagi) and/or technology (where LLM will be only a part of brand new search technology).

If things like this keep happening, definitely not... https://www.independent.co.uk/te...

I don't know if Bing will take over but the nature of search will change on both platforms thank to LLMs being integrated into the experience. Google sacked the "Joy of Search" guy who'd been their evangelist for something like 12 years, so big changes are coming

I don't think Bing might challenge google in terms of being the next big search engine but I do think that Bing might just become a totally different important component in a new way. Example : - Internet being a car, Google would be the ever standard engine and Bing with its new AI functionality would be like a new feature that's being implemented into that car. Now what Features ? Only time will tell. But it might be something used with google in parallel...

Yes and no, depends on the context. Yes -> Bing could challenge Google with the help of ChatGPT if we're talking about giving crisp and clear answers with respective links to URLs that were leveraged to answer the said question without spamming the user with ads and promoted pages. Note that we're talking about combining Bing and ChatGPT with the latter being upgraded significantly. No -> Google is fast, free, and generates millions of up-to-date and historical responses in seconds. The drawback is that the first several pages are ads or promoted pages that aren't necessarily the best source of information. On the other hand, ChatGPT in the current mode is like a confident liar or plagiarist, providing you with an eloquently articulated answer that could be wrong or not completely true. Also, it was officially stated by Open AI that ChatGPT has limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021.

I think its possible for Bing to challenge Google in the future, but not at present. The current implementation of GPT-3 feels like an extension of Google Chrome and the way prompts are submitted is different for AI and search engines. To fully utilize the potential of AI search engines, the search engine would need to be fundamentally reimagined and rebuilt. Simply adding AI on top of a search engine would not suffice. I also agree with others that say this is possible partly because, Bing has less to lose due to their smaller market share.
