FULL STORY
======================================================================

ChatGPTs iPhone app is going to offer users access to the internet via Bing  
but only if youre willing to pay for a premium ChatGPT subscription. 

OpenAIs large language models (LLM) that power its ChatGPT bot have taken the 
tech world by storm this year, with GPT 3 and now GPT 4 integration being 
introduced to a bevy of products including Spotify , Bing , and even Mercedes 
cars . 

Some integrations go both ways too, with Bing being added to ChatGPTs web 
version back in May. Now Bing has come to ChatGPTs iPhone app for people who 
pay $20 a month for ChatGPT Plus (roughly 16 / AU$30). 

This looks set to be a major upgrade for the iPhone app. One significant 
drawback to ChatGPT and the GPT 4 LLM is that it only has data thats accurate 
up to around September 2021  so if you ask the LLM questions about events 
that happened in 2022 or 2023 it probably wont know what youre talking about, 
and it may hallucinate (read: make something up). Giving GPT 4 access to Bing 
would enable the chatbot to find answers to questions that fall outside of 
its stored data. 

Dont expect this Bing integration to be an instant enhancement to ChatGPTs 
iPhone version mind. For one thing, the feature is only in beta, so it may 
have a few issues that OpenAI still needs to patch out. For another, while 
the internet is home to more recent data that could help boost the AIs 
reliability, its also home to inaccurate info, so ChatGPTs answers will 
likely still feature errors. How to use ChatGPT with Bing on iPhone 

To use ChatGPTs new Bing powers on your iPhone youll need to sign up for 
ChatGPT Plus. Youll then want to download the latest version of the iOS app 
(v1.2023.173). (Image credit: Shutterstock / Primakov) 

Once your update has been completed, make sure youre signed in to the app and 
then tap the menu button (the three dots) at the top-right corner of the 
screen. Then tap Settings, then New Features. In this sub-menu you should see 
an option to enable Browsing; select GPT-4 as your model, and make sure to 
select 'Browse with Bing'. 

For now, theres no Android app for ChatGPT, though one is apparently coming 
soon. Microsoft has also said that Bing integration will be available to 
non-paying ChatGPT users, but for now, its only for Plus subscribers. If you 
want to enjoy an AI-powered Bing experience for free (and on Android or iOS), 
youll need to download the Bing app and use its Bing Chat feature.
