I use both chatGPT (chat.openai.com) and Bing Chat and I use them for
different use cases.
If I want help to phrase my writing better, I use chatGPT. I would
typically write a paragraph and ask chatGPT to rephrase it. I'm not good
with expressing myself using natural language and I find chatGPT's help
very useful. For those people who are gifted with the skills to use natural
language well it will probably be just annoying.
If I just want to do an internet search, I use Bing AI. I find it much more
useful and accurate than a Google search. It gives a short summary of the
results and references that's relatively easy to check. It's far from
perfect, but for this purpose I find it significantly better than Google
search.
