Bing Chat is an AI Chatbot from Microsoft that is grounded on the popular ChatGPT (v4) Large Language Model (LLM). It offers near human like responses to any thing that you ask in simple natural language by way of text prompts.
Bing Chat also connects with the Bing Search Engine and generates faster and more accurate answers to ordinary as well as complex questions about any topic that you can think of using a technology called Prometheus. Apart from providing human-like responses, the Bing Chatbot can also perform a variety of additional tasks such as writing essays, letters emails, poems, stories, code and all those things that you can expect from a digital assistant.
