What do you mean by downloaded Bing? Did you download an Android / iOS app?

Bing with GPT feature is only available via https://www.bing.com/new which you have to access through Edge Browser only. Dont ask me how Edge can only display the page when its just chromium underneath.

Then again there is a wait list. You have to enter your email and wait for access to be given.

I have tried their Bing android app. It asked me to log in into Microsoft account and it was trying to add me into the waitlist. Unsuccessfuly with an error code. This is funny. I uninstalled it immediately and gave 1*. They are advertising something which is not available yet. But it's Microsoft so nothing new ...

TIP: Use chatgpt API. It is very cheap and configurable. It is easy to use it over Python or REST.

It’s built natively into the Bing and Edge mobile apps now

Ah - thanks. So, to anyone else that is as easily confused by the obvious as I am, you need to join the waitlist, download the browser, and also access bing through https://www.bing.com/new. Or go to Bing and click on the Chat section. Huh.

The browser is worth a look on it's own merits. It's definitely different than Firefox, Google, Brave, Tor, and DuckDuckGo. I don't know if I would use all the tools, but it's worth taking a looksee.
