More from From ChatGPT to Gemini: how AI is rewriting the internet
After six years of peace, the two tech giants are on course to butt heads again over the future of artificial intelligence.
Microsoft is holding a special in-person event at its Redmond headquarters tomorrow, where it’s expected to announce a ChatGPT version of Bing. OpenAI powers ChatGPT and now CEO Sam Altman is posing for a selfie with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, confirming tomorrow is all about AI. With rumors of the unannounced GPT-4 powering Microsoft’s ChatGPT integration, it looks set to be an interesting day ahead. The Verge will be covering everything live as it happens.
That’s according to a new report into the chatbot’s origins from The New York Times. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, is worried that “too much hype for ChatGPT could provoke a regulatory backlash or create inflated expectations for future releases” (as we’ve previously reported).
How do you ride an AI-powered rocket? Very carefully, apparently.

Besides summarizing Teams meetings, Bloomberg reports that Microsoft will plug OpenAI GPT 3.5 tech —that it’s investing billions in — into its Viva Sales tool that works with Microsoft Office to generate emails.
It can generate personalized text, pulling from customer records and emails in Office, with pricing details and other info, presumably making schmoozing current / prospective clients a bit easier.
A revealing look at the threats posted by AI junk
CNET built a trusted brand for tech reporting over two decades. After being acquired by Red Ventures, staff say editorial firewalls have been repeatedly breached.
Semafor reports that Microsoft’s search engine Bing could be integrating GPT-4 — the as-yet-unannounced successor to OpenAI’s language model GPT-3.5, which powers ChatGPT.
It’s certainly plausible given the increasingly-cosy relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI. Semafor reports that news could arrive in the “coming weeks” so keep your eyes peeled — and your search engines primed.
Look, there’s a lot going on with AI chatbots right now. Are they good? Are they bad? Will they destroy society’s educational norms, pollute the web with misinformation, and put me out of a job? Who knows. Which is why CatGPT is a much more relaxing alternative to ChatGPT. No thinking, no words, just meow meow meow.
