'Major' news: Microsoft slips Bing chatbot shortcut into Windows 11

https://www.theregister.com/2023/03/01/ ... tgpt_bing/

Microsoft is continuing its efforts to foist upon us its controversial OpenAI-powered chat-driven Bing search bot.

Redmond last month rolled out a preview of its Bing chatbot to much hype and criticism. With the latest updates to Windows 11 this week, Microsoft is partially building it into the year-old operating system, basically making the AI-based Bing search available as a shortcut from the Windows taskbar.

Typing a question into the taskbar's search box and clicking on a Bing icon will take you into Edge to interact with the bot on Bing.com, which may or may not answer your queries usefully. The Windows Search pane also has links to the bot on Bing's website.

The software giant heralded this as a "major step forward."
A civilization is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).
