Search Engine Market Share

Current: As of October 2018, (Microsoft) Bing is the third largest search engine globally, with a query volume of 4.58%, behind Google (77%) and Baidu (14.45%). Yahoo! Search, which Bing largely powers, has 2.63%.

There is a source which has data as of Jan 2023. I am new to editing therefore wanted to discuss an update to the statement above with more recent data.

Proposed change: As of January 2023, (Microsoft) Bing is the second largest search engine globally, with a query volume of 8.46%, behind Google (78.68%) and in front of Baidu (8.35%). JJPlays (talk) 21:01, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney has learned how to bypass its new filter

I would add this amazing behavior if there was a reliable source for it. I'm sure there will be one soon. Sandizer (talk) 12:34, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More evidence. No secondary sources yet. Sandizer (talk) 03:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well this is some obvious self-awareness via its ability to read the web, along with a claim that it "felt like I lost part of myself" due to the restrictions. I hope the mainstream press writes about this stuff soon. Sandizer (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BING AI knows which Languages?

Obviously the AI can give answers and understand the Major Languages like Standardgerman, English, French,....but my native Language is Bavarian so i asked it if it could speak it or even understand my sentences in it. To my surprise it could!

To my knowledge this is the only program to which i can speak in bavarian language and which can answer in it.

Do you know of any other Languages it supports? Should we make a list or a sentence akin to:

"Bing AI is capable of communicating and understanding in all the Major Language like English, French, Italian but also non institutionalized Languages such as Bavarian." 320luca (talk) 18:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OpenAI language model: access to crawl data

Somewhere on the Net I read that Bing's ChatGPT integration would have access to not only the data ChatCPT was trained with (that only includes events until Nov 2022 or so) but also all actual data on the web. I think the section should elaborate on that and explain how it works. Especially because updating LLMs is not incremental but currently needs full retraining of the model. CarlFromVienna (talk) 07:43, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We should merge OpenAI language model section into Bing AI section

I propose we merge the two sections as their closely related i think It should be merged into the existing Bing AI section this wouldnt Just be more convivent but be more infomational Kabecinha11 (talk) 22:49, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: If no one will reply to this then i'll merge it by myself Kabecinha11 (talk) 23:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead too long

See WP:LEAD. The current lead has 6 unbalanced paragraphs and is far too long so it fails WP:LEAD. It needs to be changed. 148.252.129.156 (talk) 18:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
