       | Is it just me but when I query Bing Chat it seems to use plugins
       | already.

       | Can you use Wolfram Alpha and give me the exact distance to Mars
       | in miles?
       | 
       | Hello, this is Bing. I can use Wolfram Alpha to give you the
       | exact distance to Mars in miles. According to Wolfram Alpha, the
       | distance to Mars from Earth as of Fri, 12 May 2023 20:14:56
       | GMT+00:00 is 155.9 million miles (250.9 million km). This
       | distance changes constantly as both planets orbit the sun at
       | different speeds and distances. The minimum distance that Mars
       | and Earth can be apart is about 33.9 million miles (54.6 million
       | km), and the maximum distance is about 250 million miles (401
       | million km). The average distance between Earth and Mars is 140
       | million miles (225 million
       | km)(space.com)(space.com)(solarsystem.nasa.gov).

       | Finally... it's been frustrating being a paying Plus user since
       | the beginning and not having access to many of the features users
       | have had access to. I hope they'll also roll out web browsing and
       | image uploading for everyone soon.

         | browsing plugin tends to fail just following links.

       | Can anyone share any use cases they've found for ChatGPT plugins?
       | 
       | Maybe it's because I don't have access to the Browsing plugin yet
       | but the only use I've found for it was writing Wolfram Alpha
       | queries for me like last week when I wanted to know how long it
       | would take to get to the moon assuming a constant 1g acceleration
       | (~3.4 hours iirc)

         | I found using Wolfram Alpha plugin is very powerful combination
         | that makes ChatGPT able to do a calculations correctly. And
         | solve a lot of equations that I might need to add later to a
         | code that ChatGPT will produce. For example the last time I
         | told it to solve a DE and then asked it to convert the units to
         | natural units and then write a code that include this solution.
         | 
         | Without Wolfram Alpha, ChatGPT completely miss up the
         | analytical solution and the units conversion. There is also a
         | new Diagram it plugin which allow me to create and modify
         | diagram inside ChatGPT which I'm currently trying and seems
         | useful but did not integrate it in real life use case yet.

         | It's the first thing I've done where when I've shared it with
         | people not in tech they're legitimately wowed and a bit scared.

         | I haven't used it yet but we utilize instacart in our
         | household, I'll be very eager to see if I can feed it a few
         | URLs for recipes i'd like to cook in the week, intelligently
         | collect and organize the ingredients (and their proper amounts)
         | needed, add it to an instacart account order where I approve
         | the final list, and order.
         | 
         | It would save me a pretty manual repetitive task I do most
         | weeks at least once or twice. If I can now basically just focus
         | on the planning of meals by selecting recipes, that will feel
         | like a real time saver that I can now do other things with.

       | Am I wrong or can you feed it your github repo and get it to

       | feeding it contextual info with every prompt?
