Bing (GPT 4) Just Made Smartphones MUCH Smarter (next-level Android and iOS app)

00:00:00.000 | The Bing app, now available on Android and iOS, is about efficiency over extravagance.

00:00:05.600 | It's on your phone, so it's not about essay writing, compiling code, or making funny poems

00:00:10.840 | in French.

00:00:11.580 | It's about taking search to the next level.

00:00:14.300 | No, I'm not sponsored by them, but I think it's mind-blowing.

00:00:17.340 | There are four levels of search, increasing in power and requisite intelligence, and Google

00:00:23.660 | is pretty much only able to do level one, and even then, not always.

00:00:28.400 | Bing can do all four.

00:00:29.880 | Let me show you in this video exactly what I mean, taking you through all four levels

00:00:34.700 | of search.

00:00:35.260 | By the end, I honestly think I'm going to persuade you that smartphones just got upgraded

00:00:40.260 | permanently.

00:00:41.100 | Just quickly, how does it look on mobile?

00:00:43.200 | Well, if you open up the app, you will see at the bottom a Bing button.

00:00:47.220 | On any webpage, just like you can in the Edge browser, you can press on the Bing button

00:00:51.680 | and open up Bing chat.

00:00:53.060 | You then have two options.

00:00:54.440 | You can ask it questions via the microphone or via the keyboard.

00:00:58.080 | For example, you could ask,

00:00:59.780 | "Who is currently seventh in the Premier League?"

00:01:02.340 | Searching for Premier League table.

00:01:04.740 | According to the Premier League table, Brighton and Hove Albion is currently seventh in the

00:01:09.540 | league with 35 points from 22 games played.

00:01:12.780 | They have scored 39 goals and conceded 29 goals, giving them a goal difference of 10.

00:01:18.980 | That's another fascinating difference with Bing on mobile.

00:01:22.280 | It actually speaks to you.

00:01:23.820 | I wouldn't call it cutting edge text-to-voice, but we're just getting started.

00:01:27.240 | You're probably wondering, "How does this transform?"

00:01:29.300 | Search.

00:01:30.300 | How does this upgrade our smartphones?

00:01:32.300 | Well, this is just a level one search.

00:01:34.880 | We are retrieving one bit of information.

00:01:37.640 | And even on this front, Bing does better than Google.

00:01:41.080 | The exact same question into Google gives a generalized formula about the Premier League

00:01:46.160 | and what seventh place means.

00:01:48.040 | Bing understands exactly what I want and gives the correct answer.

00:01:50.920 | But I will admit, if we were just comparing level one searches, Bing wouldn't be that

00:01:55.500 | much of an upgrade.

00:01:56.500 | You could always click on a link to a table and see for yourself.

00:01:58.820 | Maybe you're saving a few seconds with Bing, but not really a big difference.

00:02:03.960 | But just wait until we get to level three and even level four and beyond searches.

00:02:08.820 | And now you guys are ready for level two searches.

00:02:11.880 | And what do I mean by that?

00:02:13.320 | This time we are retrieving two bits of disparate data, but we want to do it at the same time,

00:02:19.640 | not doing two separate searches.

00:02:21.540 | By the way, I'm typing these searches into Bing desktop so you can see them more clearly.

00:02:25.580 | But of course, it would be even quicker to ask them with my voice.

00:02:28.340 | I asked, what are the ages of the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building?

00:02:35.460 | And look at the difference.

00:02:36.460 | I can clearly see the two results on the left in Bing, but on the right, I'm going to have

00:02:40.720 | to click on at least two links and scroll through the data.

00:02:44.040 | You can just begin to imagine the number of searches this could apply to.

00:02:47.720 | And we're only on level two.

00:02:49.360 | The next example of a level two search would be to retrieve a bit of information and do

00:02:54.360 | something to it.

00:02:55.360 | For example, I asked both Bing and Google.

00:02:56.460 | Bing is the only search that's going to be able to do something to it.

00:02:57.460 | Bing is the only search that's going to be able to do something to it.

00:02:58.340 | So if Microsoft's market cap doubled, what would it be?

00:03:02.400 | There are two stages to that question.

00:03:04.580 | First it has to retrieve Microsoft's current market cap, then it has to double it.

00:03:08.820 | Bing gets the answer.

00:03:09.820 | Google doesn't even show the market cap, not immediately at least.

00:03:13.820 | Even here, I know some of you will be thinking, oh, I could just type in market cap, find

00:03:17.520 | the source, get out a calculator and double it.

00:03:19.520 | What's the big problem?

00:03:20.520 | Yes, maybe you save 30 seconds, but what's the big deal?

00:03:23.220 | Well, we haven't even gotten to level three or level four searches yet.

00:03:27.500 | So what is an example of a level three search?

00:03:30.600 | Imagine you're on your smartphone and you're considering the Adobe Creative Cloud.

00:03:34.340 | And imagine you wanted to know just how much more expensive it would be over, say, a couple

00:03:38.700 | year time period than DaVinci Resolve.

00:03:41.520 | You could press the Bing button and ask this.

00:03:44.060 | According to this page, if I got the individual account for two years, how much more expensive

00:03:49.020 | would that be in pounds than the one-off payment for DaVinci Resolve 18?

00:03:53.940 | Now as I've talked about in my other Bing chat playlist videos.

00:03:56.660 | It understands the context in which you're asking the question.

00:04:00.040 | It knows you mean this Adobe Creative Cloud individual plan.

00:04:03.800 | It correctly multiplies this for two years and then compares the total to DaVinci Resolve's

00:04:08.900 | price.

00:04:09.900 | Now, initially I thought it made a mistake because when I quickly checked on Google,

00:04:14.320 | DaVinci Resolve costs £255.

00:04:17.660 | But then when I clicked to buy it, it adds on VAT, which makes it £306 in the UK.

00:04:24.240 | So in a way, that's another win for Bing.

00:04:25.760 | It understood about adding on VAT.

00:04:28.000 | But what makes this a level three search is it did all of that work.

00:04:31.900 | It retrieved the two bits of information in context and then compared them, then subtracted

00:04:37.500 | them, giving us a difference of £941 in the price over two years.

00:04:42.360 | And of course, you could carry on this conversation with Bing about the pros and cons of each

00:04:46.360 | package.

00:04:47.360 | For some of these searches, I am not even going to try it in Google because it would

00:04:50.140 | completely flop.

00:04:51.440 | Level three searches are about much more than this though.

00:04:54.200 | Imagine you're standing on the Euston Road.

00:04:54.940 | And you want to get to central London.

00:04:58.260 | You could conduct a level three search using Bing.

00:05:01.560 | The question might be how much longer would it take to get the Underground from Kings

00:05:05.620 | Cross to Piccadilly Circus than from Euston to Oxford Circus?

00:05:09.480 | Or how much longer would it take to go from Kings Cross to Hyde Park Corner than from

00:05:13.240 | Euston to Victoria?

00:05:15.020 | These are all journeys that I make on a regular basis and I can confirm that the results are

00:05:19.380 | accurate.

00:05:20.540 | Why is this level three?

00:05:21.540 | Because it had to retrieve the information about one journey.

00:05:24.420 | Then the other.

00:05:26.200 | And then make the comparison.

00:05:27.480 | But are level three searches all about addition and subtraction?

00:05:31.240 | No.

00:05:32.240 | Check this out.

00:05:33.240 | You could ask how much bigger are polar bears than brown bears and why?

00:05:37.340 | Google would have to do three things and it just isn't up to it.

00:05:40.480 | You'd have to find the size of the average polar bear, the size of the average brown

00:05:44.920 | bear and then do an analysis of why polar bears are bigger.

00:05:49.340 | Not just a mathematical comparison but an understanding, a comprehension.

00:05:52.940 | And then you'd have to find the size of the average polar bear.

00:05:53.020 | An explanation of the why's.

00:05:57.680 | Think of level three as adding a when, where, why and how to level two searches.

00:06:03.860 | The answer, by the way, is quite interesting.

00:06:06.160 | So polar bears can weigh up to 1700 pounds versus 1320 pounds.

00:06:10.640 | But we didn't just want to know that.

00:06:12.420 | We wanted to know the reason why.

00:06:13.940 | And apparently the reason why is, and I can believe this, is that they need more body

00:06:18.100 | mass and fat to survive in the cold Arctic environment.

00:06:20.840 | They also have a bigger skull.

00:06:21.840 | They have a bigger body.

00:06:22.840 | They have bigger skull and larger teeth to hunt seals.

00:06:25.320 | So now I've got more of an idea not just how much bigger they are, but why it is through

00:06:29.400 | evolution that they ended up being bigger.

00:06:31.520 | But we have waited long enough.

00:06:33.600 | What about level four searches?

00:06:35.260 | Well, think about a complex, interesting search like this.

00:06:39.120 | How much older is Stonehenge than the Colosseum in Rome expressed in human lifetimes?

00:06:45.240 | Bing has to do four things.

00:06:47.160 | Find the age of Stonehenge, the age of the Colosseum, the difference between them, divided

00:06:52.660 | by the average human lifetime.

00:06:55.420 | It does this successfully and we have a really interesting result.

00:06:58.900 | That it's about 38 human lifetimes older if we take the older date for Stonehenge.

00:07:05.220 | That is an insane level of intelligence for a single search.

00:07:09.900 | Now we're genuinely talking about saving a minute or more compared to using Google.

00:07:13.900 | That is a big enough difference to really matter.

00:07:16.380 | And that's not the only example I could give you of a level four search.

00:07:19.400 | I'm sure you could tell me hundreds of ideas in the comments.

00:07:21.780 | But try this.

00:07:22.480 | Going back to the Premier League, I could ask: If Arsenal beat Leicester and Man City

00:07:27.980 | draw Bournemouth, how many points ahead would Arsenal be?

00:07:31.480 | I didn't have to specify Premier League, I didn't have to say fixture, and of course

00:07:35.480 | I didn't have to tell it the rules of the Premier League about three points for a win,

00:07:39.140 | etc.

00:07:40.140 | It knew exactly what I was asking, calculated the two results, found the league positions,

00:07:45.340 | and then found the difference.

00:07:47.120 | Now you don't have to be into sport to know that that's an amazing answer to a complex

00:07:52.300 | query.

00:07:53.360 | Think about how this applies to your domain, your career, your interests, and come up with

00:07:57.860 | some level four searches that you could ask.

00:08:00.620 | Which brings me on to my final point.

00:08:03.040 | The question for every smartphone user will be: Is the small but real risk of hallucinations

00:08:09.380 | more meaningful to me than the additional seconds and minutes required to perform multiple

00:08:15.300 | searches?

00:08:16.300 | For me, the answer is already yes.

00:08:18.800 | But clearly what we decide will depend on the topic, right?

00:08:22.120 | It's fine for a life-changing house decision, but not for this one.

00:08:26.640 | By the way, with those new modes that Bing is debuting this week that I'm going to do

00:08:30.500 | a video on, where you can pick "Precision over Creativity", soon you might not even

00:08:35.700 | need to make a choice between hallucination versus efficiency.

00:08:39.400 | Very much looking forward to doing a deep dive into those modes by the way.

00:08:42.680 | And yes, what you may find is that Bing when you do voice recognition makes the occasional

00:08:48.060 | mistake in what you're asking it.

00:08:49.780 | That certainly happened to me.

00:08:51.940 | I'm not saying that I'm not going to do it.

00:08:54.320 | I'm just saying that I'm not going to do it.

00:08:56.320 | I'm just saying that I'm not going to do it.
