This gives me an idea of what working with Copilot might look like in other applications&#8230; Which brings me to the next point:<\/p>\n<p><strong>More complex search queries are &#8220;accompanied&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nI can now google (or is that bingen in this case?) and can refine further &#8211; without having to start new searches again and again. In my search history, the thread remains until I am finished or no longer need it&#8230; I can easily go back if I get lost in a side topic or read something again. All without having to keep a bunch of tabs open in parallel (as before) or having to cache certain information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Search via images&#8230; (visual search)<\/strong><br \/>\nPreviously, this was only possible within the image search: if I have found a good image after typing in search terms, I can display similar images there. With New Bing, it also works with images that I come across somewhere on the web However, this only works if they are known to the Bing algorithm and are assigned the icon for the visual search.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1521 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>A little extra motivation: Rewards<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know whether this will really make a difference, but a little gamification in the user experience is fun&#8230; Microsoft rewards every single Bing query with a points system \u2013 with or without AI.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1522 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie3-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"554\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aleksandra-civric-heim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Folie3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Turn on critical thinking!<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite all the euphoria and hype surrounding AI chatbots, it is important not to switch off critical thinking but to sharpen it and remain vigilant against risks and disadvantages.
