How does Copilot work?

Are Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT the same?
Microsoft calls Bing Chatbot "the next generation of OpenAI's large language model," which is even stronger than ChatGPT in some aspects. Microsoft's goal is to better integrate it with Bing search, so it has improved in speed and functionality.
Microsoft's ChatGPT is called the "Prometheus" mode, which can bring the latest news into the chat, ensuring that users can get instant and secure search results.
There had been speculation that Copilot, which runs as a chat tool for Bing, was using GPT-4, and Microsoft confirmed this after OpenAI announced ChatGPT-4.
On March 13 this year, Microsoft Copilot fully upgraded the OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo model, including free users.
What other useful AI tools are there?
In addition to Copilot, there are also Google's Gemini and Character AI, and domestic ones include Wenxin Yiyan and Doubao, etc. These are tools similar to ChatGPT.
Regardless of which tool comes out on top, AI-driven search is undoubtedly the future, so let’s wait and see!
