    No, that’s an AI generated summary that bing (and google) show for a lot of queries.

    For example, if I search “can i launch a cow in a rocket”, it suggests it’s possible to shoot cows with rocket launchers and machine guns and names a shootin range that offer it. Thanks bing … i guess…

      You think the culture wars over pronouns have been bad, wait until the machines start a war over prepositions!

      You’re incorrect. This is being done with search matching, not by a LLM.

      The LLM answers Bing added appear in the chat box.

      These are Bing’s version of Google’s OneBox which predated their relationship to OpenAI.

          Yes, they’ve now replaced the legacy system with one using GPT-4, hence the incorporation of citations in a summary description same as the chat format.

          Try the same examples as in OP’s images.

        The box has a small i-icon that literally says it’s an AI generated summary

          They’ve updated what’s powering that box, see my other response to your similar comment with the image.
