How do people put up with Bing? ChatGPT is much more free with giving fun and crazy answers, meanwhile Bing always complaints that it can't do whatever I'm asking.

If I ask the LLM to howl, Bing will complaint and give some boring and long-winded excuse, while ChatGPT will just howl as requested.



For me, Bing providing citations is the killer feature.


Because it cites it's sources probably


I have "Cite sources whenever possible, and include URLs if possible (at the end of the answer, not inline)" in my custom instructions and nearly always get citations from chatGPT.


Did you check if sources exist? Because my ChatGPT gives me links and citations, but they are almost always 404s or hallucinated.


I have a few times, but I'm not always diligent. I'll keep an eye out next time!


I mean Why are you asking it to howl in the first place ?

Just saying it's fine if you're having a normal conversation which i imagine is what most people care about one way or the other.
