Microsoft recently announced a slew of new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered features for its Bing chatbot and Edge web browser. Chief among the changes, Bing users now have full access to the GPT-4 model — the same underlying engine that powers ChatGPT’s “Plus” subscription service.
Previously, Microsoft held access to the GPT-4 version of the Bing chatbot to a “limited preview.” It’s now announcing open availability through the Bing app, web access and the Edge browser.
Aside from giving Bing, Edge and Windows users free, unfettered access to the GPT-4 model, Microsoft also announced upcoming support for multimodal outputs, chat history and plug-ins.
Multimodal support will allow the Bing chatbot to generate responses, which include a combination of text, images and videos. It will also have the ability to generate charts and graphs, something that could give it a leg up over ChatGPT.

The new features won’t require any purchases or subscriptions, though users will need a free Microsoft account to take advantage of the Bing chatbot’s full suite of functions.
By contrast, OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus service costs $20 per month for access to the same GPT-4 model (the freely available ChatGPT service relies on GPT-3.5). Furthermore, ChatGPT Plus doesn’t currently offer image generation, web search or third-party plug-in support.

Does anyone know if there is an ETF that groups AI companies? Even if it is not just the up-and-coming companies. It might include the NVidia and other big players with the little guys?
The maligned Kathy Woods ARK?
I guess I could ask ChatGBT or Bing!!!!
As things progress, I am going to try to find smaller companies that might experience rapid growth...but I'm going to be very careful.
I still have a goodly amount of QQQ, but have significantly improved my overall return.
The problem with ARKK and Kathy is that I just don't like her stocks.
I have weighted my little ETF more heavily with NVDA and AMD, but I still have it balanced with other smaller players.
Since my portfolio isn't an ETF, I scan the daily market news on this subject pretty carefully just in case I need to rejiggle.
As an aside, I have avoided INTL for the obvious reasons.
I think that's a great idea.;-)
I ask Bing all the time about this market and it regularly points out sections in various 10-K's and Q's that I might want to look at. It even provides good links.
I used Bing Chat after AMD experienced a decline in PC-related revenues last week and was able to get a good feel for just how much of an overall problem that was.
I picked up some AMD at $83 and it's trading this morning at $89.
I often buy in the dips when a stock I like long-term moves down irrationally and QQQ moves up or holds steady.
Arguing with a fool simply creates another fool.......................
I like to get a feel for how stocks move day-to-day and what causes them to move against each other. That gives me a comfort level.
It also helps to pour over 10-K's and Q's. As they say, practice makes perfect. And, of course, never get emotionally involved with your stocks or yourself.;-)
No strawman. All I did was point out the fact that the so called Artificial Intelligent web platforms to date are not Artificial Intelligence.
The fact is that these platforms are only aggregators of previous texts from a vast database, wrapped up with word processor, which means that they are not sentient.
And it was ChatGPT who said you're intellectually dishonest. Don't look at me. I would never suggest that you're dishonest.
Does the term "artificial intelligence" mean that an AI platform is sentient?ChatGPT:
No, artificial intelligence (AI) does not necessarily mean sentient. AI refers to the ability of machines or computer programs to perform tasks that typically require human-like intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI systems can be designed to operate autonomously, without human intervention, and can make decisions based on data and rules programmed into them.
Sentience, on the other hand, refers to the ability to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively. Sentient beings are conscious and have a sense of self-awareness. While some researchers are working on developing AI systems that can mimic human-like consciousness, current AI technology does not possess sentience.
In summary, AI is a technology that can perform tasks intelligently, while sentience is a quality of consciousness that is currently limited to biological beings.
Like I said, your ChatGPT is hilarious. They taught it to equivocate like a good little progressive processor should.
See synonyms for: equivocate / equivocating / equivocator on Thesaurus.com 💼 Post-College Level
verb (used without object), e·quiv·o·cat·ed, e·quiv·o·cat·ing.
to use ambiguous or unclear expressions, usually to avoid commitment or in order to mislead; prevaricate or hedge:
When asked directly for his position on disarmament, the candidate only equivocated.
Aren't you even a little ashamed?
ChatGPT:Your accusation of equivocation was not only cheap. It was incorrect.The term "not necessarily" does not always mean equivocation. "Not necessarily" is a phrase used to indicate that a statement is not always true or not always applicable in all cases. It is often used to clarify that there are exceptions or that there may be other factors that affect a situation.
I hope you are someone's mother-in-law. You are well qualified.;-)
Please keep them coming! This foolishness it the funniest thing I have heard in a while.
Science Fiction of today is Science fact of tomorrow. It is the way it has always been and always will be. These new age byte heads only wish they could create real Artificial Intelligence.
You might as well know, you will never dissuade me about the original meaning of AI, because I have read more Science Fiction than you ever could imagine existed. In addition to reading most of the works of the Grand Masters, I read the Sci-Fi stories in Boy's Life and a great number of Tom Swift books. The title that has always stuck with me is "Tom Swift and His Megascope Space Prober", by Victor Appleton. For years in the 1980's I had a subscription to "Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine " and read it cover-to-cover when it arrived. I have read a great many of Science Fiction Anthologies.
Did you know that in Jules Verne 1865 novel, "From the Earth to the Moon", his protagonists chose Stone's Hill in "Tampa Town", Florida Columbiad cannon that successfully launched his Moon shot? Orlando is just across the peninsula from Tampa.
A hundred years after the prophetic author who never left France wrote those lines, U.S. space projects were being launched regularly from Florida, not too far away from what Verne called "Tampa Town." There were many curious parallels between his story and the actual moon shots of today.
My Dad worked for GE as a computer programmer on the parts inventory database at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama when they were building the Saturn V rocket boosters. We lived ten miles away as the crow flies. I and my family were standing in our back yard when they performed the first static tie-down test of the rocket engine and it shook the ground worse than an earthquake (I have been through a 6.9 magnitude earthquake). Another time, our family just happened to be visiting the museum at the MSFC, when a voice came over the intercom saying that they had just received the raw film of the first Space Walk and they would be showing it in their little theater (maybe thirty seats) in a few minutes. I was one of the first civilians to see the whole raw footage including the glove floating into space. RIP Colonel Ed White.
Can you tell me where you were when Borman, Lovell, and Anders in the Apollo 8 capsule, while going around the Moon took turns reading the first ten verses from the Book of Genesis for the whole world to hear on Christmas Eve?
My father worked on the Manhattan Project and build a nuclear reactor in our garage!
Naw...just kidding.
I'm been just teasing you because you are so insecure. Just because you have read deeply and widely in science fiction doesn't "necessarily" (oops, equivocation?) make you an authority on the current state of AI. On the other hand, it might help.
Sorry for picking on you. It's just hard to resist.
Now I await your next defensive comment.;-)
Wow, that is fantastic. I didn’t know all this. I have some research and work to do! Thank you.
With the occasional exception, I like for my long-term stocks to meet 3 standards at a minimum.
There are thousands of great companies out there that are the backbone of America, but their stock price is going absolutely nowhere. I love 'em. I admire 'em. But I don't want to own 'em.
Well, that is conciliatory enough for me, so no defensive comment.
Good. I had hoped we might become friends because I use to live in Marietta also...and would occasionally drive by the famous Big Chicken.
