Are they using those to warn user when they picked a common password which is among those 30k? The real question is, why aren't those common password saved in a condition which is sorted alphabetically? What a waste of computing resource.

I think one of the issues with AI is that it has difficulty deciding where problems and solutions start and end. As it's knowledge base is exhausted on a particular line of questions, it gets more desperate and retrieves more obscure and unreliable information.
The world GO champion retired a few years ago after being beaten repeatedly by AI. It was encouraging to see that an amateur has now found a flaw and can beat all the GO AI using an "encircling" strategy. The AI is too preoccupied with its "inner game" to see the big picture (probabilities versus possibilities)

Emotions aren't programmed into the system; we see only emotion because it is repeating our answers with the most weight.
Also, some parts are definitely Eliza-like responses. It is a search engine to look into past replies that might be appropriate, but not AI as in "thinking".

It is merely repeating. Intelligence implies creativity. It cannot even cope with follow up questions decently in the public version. It's a search-engine and it scrapes sites, combined with a chatbot. Sounds intelligent, but is as intelligent as your average politician.

My "contributions" to SO are limited to a few remarks, yet still the system thinks I'm a major contributor. I should change my CP Profile to include the honorary "Conqueror of the Moon, and First God of Mars", as the AI would simply accept it at face value.
And yes, you read that right; you appear to be a member. We're still debating that one. So, it is unsure about your member status, but quite sure that I contributed a lot on SO!
In what country does that constitute as "intelligence"? It takes you 5 minutes on Google to verify whether you're a member and what I did on SO. AI eh?
There is absolutely no proof of any intelligent life at all anywhere in the entire observable universe.

This is the sort of thing I was alluding to in a discussion on the topic last week, summarizing it as little more than a parlor trick that BS artists get away with (given a sufficiently gullible audience) - once you know how it works, you realize it's rather dumb.
Whoever downvoted me for it...well, you know who you are.

Well, yeah. That's what it is.
And it is all over the news, AI will change "everything"! Technological singularity in a few years!

And I was raked over the coals for calling it just that, a parlor trick. I'm glad someone agrees.
It might seem rather good as putting sentences together, and even making claims sound plausible. But there's no hint of any sort of comprehension on its part whatsoever.

Additionally, an AI isn't likely to [create a new play in the style of Shakespeare] (for instance) unless someone asks it to. It's not spontaneous or innovative.

Some podcast I was listening to recently claimed something along the lines of "...every percentage point of market share Bing gains represents an extra $2B of income for Microsoft".
So if Microsoft gets even a tiny fraction of Google's searches moving to them permanently, that investment in ChatGPT is going to pay off tremendously.
So from that perspective, even if, in the long run, ChatGPT comes and goes, it makes a lot of sense for MS to at least manage to remind people that Bing exists.

I'd be interested to know if that is causal or correlated and to dig in a little. I'm just not seeing how those numbers work given Microsoft's search and ad revenue was 2.9B last year. A 1% change in Bing usage could happen to be caused by more people using Windows, which generates revenue, rather than Bing use driving revenue itself.

The way it was framed is that 1% of the global search market represents $2B (and from your figures, I guess we're supposed to conclude Bing owns 1.5% of it?) I have little reason to doubt that as being accurate.
So if Bing's revenue was $2.9B last year, $2B represents roughly 2/3 of MS's search revenue. Meaning, if MS's share of the global market went up an additional percentage (of that global market), MS would be seeing a 66% growth of what they're already getting, which would be nothing short of phenomenal.
Are there more people using Windows? I doubt it; the market's saturated, and (IMO) more and more people are moving away from Windows as they find out all they need is their phone (where MS isn't a player at all).
However, if people start doing their searches through Bing (because it's returning results from ChatGPT) regardless of where they're coming from (Android or iOS phone or tablet, or a Windows desktop)...and decide to stick with it...then there's plenty of room for growth (and really, where else can Bing go but up?)

All good points. I'd argue that revenue from search is more than just display ads (which is in a race to the bottom) and it's more about controlling the conversation and directing the buying decision to your other products, but that's harder to quantifying so absolute dollar amounts are at least comparable between orgs.
You mention people moving away from Windows and I feel that's an easy problem to fix by focussing on the customer, coming up with a name that can be verb'd, and stopping this stupidity.

After MS pulled the plug on their phones, they stated they're no longer necessarily interested in keeping people on Windows (as that strategy clearly wasn't working, at least as far as their phones were concerned), but rather, they were going to their customers instead, "wherever they may be", whether that's on Android or iOS or Linux or, yes, even Windows.
Someone on Android changing his default search engine to Bing, because it provides ChatGPT results, would definitely be a big win from MS's perspective. It remains to be seen whether there's enough people to do just that. Depends on how easy it is--"path of least resistance" type of thing.

"Bing it" definitely isn't as catchy...
Chris Maunder wrote: and stopping this stupidity.
Oh, gawd...
Marketing people at MS "experimenting". I say, fire the whole lot, and anyone else while they're at it who thinks of Windows as an "ad-delivery platform".  That's exactly how I'm going to end up bailing on them and going to Linux.
