Microsoft revamped Bing earlier this year and integrated it with OpenAI’s GPT model which also powers the very popular and trending ChatGPT. How is it better? With AI-powered Bing, you can ask more complex questions and assign tasks than you can natively. It was a pretty smart move considering Bing is almost non-existent in the browsing world, and it also gives the search engine an edge over rivals.
With regard to Samsung choosing Microsoft over Google, the decision is not final yet. According to the report, the decision is still under negotiation and “Samsung may stick with Google.” So we might not see Bing on a Samsung phone but the potential is still there and it will seriously change things in the smartphone world.
Google pays Samsung, Apple to be default search engine
Both Samsung and Apple are known to have paid a hefty amount for Google to remain as the default search engine. The tech giant reportedly pays Apple $20 billion per year and Samsung $3.5 billion per year. Having said that, there is no word from Microsoft on the matter and also whether the company would be willing to shell out that much money like Google.

Microsoft is currently busy updating Bing with more features and with the latest GPT-4 model from OpenAI. Those who have access to the preview version of Bing can access the updated search engine. Microsoft also integrated OpenAI’s DALL-E image builder with Bing. Through this feature, users can generate images directly from Bing Chat. It’s called “Bing Image Creator” and you can tell it to generate an image based on the details you provide.
Google was also quick to jumpstart its AI work, and plans to integrate AI chat into search. An AI-powered search engine on a smartphone would be something very interesting but with no official confirmation yet, it is hard to say if we will actually see it anytime soon.
