I usually double check, especially with critical cases. With online searches the most useful part of bing chat has been the references which it adds to the answer which I usually go check out (but the summary is still nice from bing). It's quite clear when it doesn't know the answer, but often the references still help pointing me towards resources!
Overall it is not doing my job for me, but it speeds up the process significantly. Definitely made me feel like my job is still secure because the questions need to be very specific and still require double checking.
Edit: I've been so curious about ChatGPT. Do you notice a significant difference between Bing and ChatGPT itself? I did notice bing does sometimes atleast admit that it does not know. I heard ChatGPT just boldy gives an answer even if it doesn't know it.
I have almost zero experience with bing chat, but I hear good things.
When I used ChatGPT for maths solutions it absolutely chose the "confidently incorrect" style. Even stating things that made no sense or are easy mistakes.. "as 7 is the largest prime", for example.
Uh oh! Hmm.. well Bing chat does have three settings for "answer accuracy": creative, balanced and strict. Don't know if ChatGPT has something similar? I usually leave it on balanced or strict and haven't noticed anything weird, but I haven't really tested its limits either. Give it a go!
