OpenAI had earlier said it will continue offering free-to-use ChatGPT, and the new Plus variant is meant for those who want more from ChatGPT.
Microsoft’s big AI push: Bing gets better, Edge gets an edge🌐

In recent months, Microsoft has incorporated ChatGPT and other AI models into many of its services to capitalize on this investment.
Despite having little recall as a search engine, Bing now has 100 million users, thanks to the integration of ChatGPT by Microsoft.
Bing has undergone several changes in its new avatar, including how it responds to certain queries.
