Description:
As well as the much-awaited GPT-4 Turbo upgrade, Copilots image creation feature has been upgraded, and more besides.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Microsoft has announced that Copilot the AI chatbot formerly known as Bing Chat is soon to get half a dozen impressive upgrades.

This batch of improvements should make the Copilot chatbot considerably more powerful in numerous respects (outside of, and inside of Windows 11 ).

So, first off, lets break down the upgrades themselves (listed in a Microsoft blog post ) before getting into a discussion of what difference theyre likely to make.

Firstly, and most importantly, Copilot is getting a new brain, or we should say an upgraded brain in the form of GPT-4 Turbo. Thats the latest model of GPT from OpenAI which makes various advances in terms of being generally better and more accurate.

Another beefy upgrade is an updated engine for Dall-E 3 , the chatbots image creation feature, which produces higher quality results that are more closely aligned with whats requested by the user. This is actually in Copilot right now.

Thirdly, Microsoft promises that Copilot will do better with image searches, returning better results when you sling a picture at the AI in order to learn more about it.

Another addition is Deep Search which uses GPT-4 to deliver optimized search results for complex topics as Microsoft puts it. What this means is that if you have a query for Copilot, it can produce a more in-depth search request
to produce better results. Furthermore, if the terms of your query are vague and could potentially relate to multiple topics, Deep Search will follow up
on what those topics might be and offer suggestions to allow you to refine
the query.

The fifth upgrade Microsoft has planned is Code Interpreter, which as the
name suggests will help perform complex tasks including coding, data analysis and so forth. Thats not something the average user will benefit from, but there are those who will, of course.

Finally, Copilot in Microsofts Edge browser has a rewrite feature (for inline text composition) coming soon. This allows you to select text on a website
and get the AI to rewrite it for you. Analysis: Something for Google to worry about (Image credit: Future)

There are some really useful changes inbound here. Getting GPT-4 Turbo is an upgrade (from GPT-4) that a lot of Copilot users have been clamoring for, and Microsoft tells us that its now being tested with select users. (We
previously heard it still had a few kinks to iron out , so presumably thats whats currently going on).

GPT-4 Turbo will be rolling out in the coming weeks so it should be here soon enough, with any luck, and youll be able to see the difference it makes for you in terms of a greater level of accuracy for the chatbot when responding
to your queries.

Its great to see Dall-E 3 getting an upgrade, too, as its already an
excellent image creation engine, frankly. (Recall the rush to use the feature when it was first launched, due to the impressive results being shared online).

The search query improvements, both the Deep Search capabilities and refined image searching, will also combine with the above upgrades to make Copilot a whole lot better across multiple fronts. (Although we do worry somewhat about the potential for abuse with that inline rewrite feature for Edge).

All of this forward momentum for Copilot comes as we just heard news of
Google delaying its advances on the AI front , pushing some major launches back to the start of 2024. Microsoft isnt hanging around when it comes to Copilot, thats for sure, and Google has to balance keeping up, without
pushing so hard that mistakes are made. You might also like ... Google could bring AI writing tools to Chromebooks Bing AI is coming to Chrome, taking on Google Bard on its own turf Microsoft kills off Edge features in a bid to
