Prometheus Unbound

Well................ i've got access to the new Bing, in my browser and on my phone in the new Bing app.

Never thought i'd be admitting this but I spent a good hour and a half last night having a conversation with a search engine! I've been playing with #ChatGPT for the last few weeks and like everyone experimenting with prompts etc.

For a good set have a look here. GitHub - f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts: This repo includes ChatGPT prompt curation to use ChatGPT better.

Like many of you who've been getting to grips with this technology its pretty mind blowing to watch the speed at which new content can be generated.

So.........over to Search. How best to explain what Prometheus is in the context of Bing? Might as well ask it directly

I was amazed about how much more 'natural' the learning and interaction was when you have a conversational interface with search. It completely changes the experience. I tested it out by having a conversation about 'Where to find the best Mexican food in Bury St Edmunds?' The interesting this about this type of query is that as well as just providing you with an answer (it's Amigos by the way) the engine prompts you to say that it's had a read of the menu and the highlights are XXX, it then prompts you to ask, 'do you like spicy food'? How you answer this then determines more analysis and more interaction right up to the point where it shows you how to book. In this much more human like conversation you don't only get 'given' the information, the act of talking and interacting means you 'learn' just by diving deeper in the recipes.

We are just getting started with this technology at Microsoft and you can already see and feel it inside of Power Automate, Power BI, Word, Viva Sales. The onus us going to be on the more technologically savvy amongst us to ensure that everyone develops the skills to be able to interact and learn in this new manner.

And don't get me started on the iOS app! With voice control where you can talk to the app and it talks back, the accessibility opportunities for learning are immense!

If you haven't already done so....... sign up for access now!

My days of 'Googling' something are over.... from now on it's 'Let's Bing it'
