I&#x27;m a Plus user and it&#x27;s not working for me.<p>When I click on my account name in the lower left corner, then Settings &amp; Beta, I don&#x27;t see the option &quot;Browse with Bing&quot;.<p>I start a new chat with GPT-4 and don&#x27;t see a &quot;Browse with Bing&quot; under GPT-4. I ask the question &quot;What are the latest reviews for a commuter bike?&quot; and get the response &quot;I&#x27;m sorry, but I don&#x27;t have access to real-time information...&quot;<p>I tried logging out, clearing cache &amp; data from my browser. It doesn&#x27;t fix it. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue?<p>PS: just realized I&#x27;m paying $20&#x2F;month and there is no customer support. No email address. No online messaging with a support team. No phone number.

OK, it works for me, but in 10 minutes of testing against Bing+GPT it performs a little worse. An example that was simply better with Microsoft&#x27;s Bing+GPT: &quot;search GitHub for a Common Lisp project for performing SPARQL queries&quot;<p>I periodically cancel my OpenAI ChatGPt Plus subscription because Microsoft&#x27;s Bing+ChatGPT is good for research and generating code fragments.<p>EDIT: off topic, but I often prefer using GPT-4 via programs written in Python, Common Lisp, or Racket. Then, I can do web search and data&#x2F;prompt preparation in my own code. For me the difference is: for research and coding help use Bing+GPT, otherwise write my own code.

Kagi&#x27;s FastGPT seems to have had this capability for a while. I&#x27;d noted a few days ago that a query I&#x27;d submitted turned up one of my own two-week-old HN comments amongst its references.<p>That&#x27;s not &quot;please find a website&quot; but as a citation supporting its own findings. But either way, either the training set is quite recent <i>or</i> FastGPT conducts searches based on the query and&#x2F;or results it generates. I suspect the latter.

This is kinda underwhelming tbh, it&#x27;s really just a plug-in (using the existing plug-in infrastructure) that knows how to search bing and click the results.

Does browse also mean post&#x2F;save in some way? That would potentially enable an eventual escape scenario, with memory.

Skynet is edging closer every day.

They are moving so fast. This week alone they’ve added web browsing and image as input. Must be a crazy place to work at the moment.

There goes it&#x27;s productivity

Web browsing was disabled because it could bypass paywalls,<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37678681">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=37678681</a><p>It was out for three months.<p>Worth noting that this new version does seem a lot more faster, and doesn’t take as much time to go through pages.

Google’s done. Time for it to be freed to focus on other things. ChatGPT is the new search engine.
