Have you tried Bingchat yet? It’s rumoured to be using a more advanced model from OAI than ChatGPT or Davinci and is very often surprisingly excellent.

It is so low heavily lobotomized that 99% I find much better results with chatgpt even though it is technically an older model.

I've noticed the same thing. Other than generating code examples - I found it be useless for search.

I've had better luck using a third-party extension that inserts web search context into the ChatGPT than using Bing chat to search for something.

Could you mention or link the extension here? Thank you!

Sure. The one I'm using is WebChatGPT:

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-chatgpt/?...

note - I haven't tried the firefox version. But the chrome one works fine in Brave.

I was pretty decent early on. Now I just use it to augment copilot...generally when I don't have a specific "start" but just an idea...works better than dumping a comment into copilot. I was hoping with the 3 tabs creative -> more exact it would be a little better but I haven't seen any difference. It isn't quite as interesting as when it was regularly hallucinating. I found the hallucinations to bubble up inspiration...forgotten facts, unused paths, etc.

Keep reading great things about it. Will have to try it. Thank you for the recommendation!
