Exploring AI's role in threat analysis and the effectiveness of ChatGPT's new feature: AI aids in threat analysis but human decisions remain crucial. ChatGPT's 'browse with Bing' feature offers a new way to browse the internet within the platform, but understanding its capabilities and limitations is key.
While AI is being used to assist in analyzing potential threats, human decisions still prevail. The use of AI in this capacity is a welcome development, but it's surprising that such initiatives weren't implemented earlier. During the discussion, the focus shifted to a new feature from OpenAI called "browse with Bing" in ChatGPT. The hosts shared their experiences with the feature and compared it to other modes and plug-ins within ChatGPT. One listener, Trey, expressed confusion about how to use the feature for browsing the internet. The hosts explained that the feature isn't new, but it's important to compare its effectiveness to other options within ChatGPT. Overall, the discussion highlighted the importance of understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI tools and features.

ChatGPT's 'Browse with Bing' feature doesn't eliminate knowledge cutoff: ChatGPT's 'Browse with Bing' allows quick web searches, but it doesn't remove the model's knowledge cutoff, limiting it to info up to September 2021.
While ChatGPT's new "Browse with Bing" feature allows the model to access current information from the internet, it does not mean that the knowledge cutoff, which limits the model to information up to September 2021, has been removed. OpenAI's announcement that the model can now provide "current and authoritative information complete with direct links to sources" is factually correct, but the interpretation that the knowledge cutoff no longer exists is incorrect. The GPT 4 model, even with "Browse with Bing," is still limited to information available up to September 2021. The feature performs a quick search for each query, but its accuracy is not always guaranteed. It's important to separate facts from marketing hype when interpreting announcements in the AI space.
Using chat models with internet access for accurate information: To ensure accurate and helpful responses from chat models, use plugins that allow internet access to access up-to-date information and avoid inaccuracies.
While chat models like ChatGPT can generate text based on prompts, they may not always provide accurate information, especially when the topic is recent or complex. Browse with Bing, a feature that allows chat models to access the internet for more accurate information, was temporarily removed due to legal issues, but various chat GPT plugins continue to provide this functionality. It's important to use these plugins to avoid inaccuracies and "hallucinations" in the model's responses. Even if you think the topic doesn't require current information, it's likely that it has changed in the last few years. History is a great example of a subject that is constantly evolving. So, to get the most accurate and helpful responses from chat models, make sure to use plugins that can access the internet.
Using ChatGPT with Bing for information retrieval and summarization: While ChatGPT with Bing can provide summaries and responses to queries, it's important to remember their limitations and verify their accuracy through other sources.
While using tools like Chat GPT with Bing for information retrieval and summarization can be convenient, it's important to remember that these models have limitations. The base model for such tools is currently September 2021, and while they can provide summaries or responses to queries, they may not always be entirely accurate or comprehensive. For instance, browse with Bing may not allow for in-depth exploration of individual web pages and the summaries it provides can be quite general. Additionally, it doesn't always show its work or provide sufficient context for the information it's presenting. Therefore, it's crucial to approach the information provided by these tools with a critical eye and to verify their accuracy through other sources. In essence, while these tools can be useful, they should not replace thorough research and fact-checking.
Browsing modes vs plugins for information retrieval: Browsing modes in search engines provide a quick overview but are siloed and lack connection to other services. Plugins offer more accurate and detailed information through summaries and bullet-pointed overviews, improving productivity and confidence.
While using browsing modes in search engines like Bing can be helpful, relying on them for accurate and detailed information may not be the best choice. The speaker in this discussion emphasized that when using browsing modes, the information is siloed and cannot be connected to other services or marketing automations. This limits the potential uses and accuracy of the information obtained. On the other hand, using plugins with search engines can significantly enhance the information retrieved. Plugins like Browser OP, VoxScript, and YouTube summaries can provide more accurate and detailed information, including summaries and bullet-pointed overviews of articles. These plugins can also provide a greater level of confidence in the accuracy of the information, as users can easily check the details and verify the results. The speaker also highlighted the importance of large language models, such as those used in plugins, for knowledge workers who spend a significant amount of time online reading websites, PDFs, and other digital content. By using these language models, users can quickly and accurately obtain information, improving productivity and efficiency. In conclusion, while browsing modes can be a useful starting point for information retrieval, plugins offer a more accurate and detailed way to obtain information. By using plugins, users can improve their productivity, accuracy, and confidence in the information they obtain online.
Using Microsoft's 'Browse with Bing' mode in ChatGPT requires caution: Users should only rely on Microsoft's 'Browse with Bing' mode in ChatGPT if they're certain of its accuracy, as it may not access or process all relevant information, and both it and Google's Bard can sometimes provide inaccurate information based on URL text rather than article content.
While Microsoft's "Browse with Bing" mode in ChatGPT may seem like an improvement over the knowledge cutoff issue, it still has significant flaws. The speaker emphasized that users should only use this mode if they have 100% certainty in its accuracy. He explained that in the "plugin mode," users can see exactly what the model is seeing and processing, ensuring that all relevant information is being ingested. However, with "Browse with Bing," users have no way of knowing what information the model is accessing or if it's accurate. The speaker also mentioned that while Bing's AI chat may be slightly more accurate than Google's Bard, both large language models can sometimes hallucinate and provide inaccurate information based on the text of a URL rather than the content of the article itself. Therefore, it's crucial to be cautious when using these modes and to understand their limitations.
Bing Search within ChatGPT: Not Recommended: While Bing search within ChatGPT offers some functionality, it's not as powerful, flexible, or transparent as using ChatGPT with plugins. Stick with plugins for better control, flexibility, and transparency.
While Browse with Bing, a new feature in ChatGPT, is intriguing, it's currently not recommended for use due to its lack of transparency and uncertain accuracy. Browse with Bing is essentially a search function within the large language model, but it doesn't provide access to the workings or results in the same way that using ChatGPT with plugins does. With plugins, users have more control, flexibility, and transparency, enabling them to automate tasks, summarize articles, read PDFs, and more. The plugins can be used in conjunction with ChatGPT, allowing for a more powerful and versatile tool for growing businesses and careers. For now, it's best to stick with ChatGPT and plugins for their added benefits.
