The new ChatGPT-powered Bing is the world’s first AI search engine
- Microsoft’s latest innovation to embrace ChatGPT technology to Bing is met with positive reception.
- Users have begun joining the waiting list to try the new feature.
- However, some experienced an annoying bug that accidentally kicks them off the list.
Microsoft integrates the power of AI into its Bing search engine. Collaborating with OpenAI, the tech giant brings a ChatGPT-like feature to the often-overlooked search engine to allow it to perform complex searches and tasks.
While it’s not out for the public yet, Microsoft has rolled out a waiting list for those interested. The list is long, but you can sign up & get ahead by setting Microsoft defaults on your PC and installing the Bing mobile app.
However, several users reported that they’ve been locked out of the feature even after receiving a confirmation email that they’re in for the new Bing.

“I received the “you are in” mail of new bing. But when I access , it only says I can join the waitlist so I tried to join again and I joined successfully. I then tried to ask questions to bing and chat with it since it says I’m on the waitlist. I tried to opt out the waitlist in https://www.bing.com/waitlist/optout to resolve this problem but received “An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later.” I think this is a bug. Will I ever be able to access the new Bing?”
The bug is annoying, considering how highly-anticipated this feature is. Some other users even reported that a pop-up message saying “Something went wrong. Please try again” always comes out whenever they want to enlist themselves for the waiting list.
