Microsoft and OpenAI are locked in a high-stakes financial and governance tug-of-war and everyone in the tech world is holding their breath. With Microsoft having invested nearly $14 billion in OpenAI since 2019, the question is how much of a piece of the pie Microsoft will get as OpenAI shifts gears from a nonprofit to a for-profit model.

OpenAI recently published early beta versions of its ChatGPT desktop program for Windows, the company stated on Thursday via a post on X. With improved access to OpenAI's AI platform, the app is available to Plus, Enterprise, Team, and Edu customers.
It's important to note that Microsoft has been a massive beneficiary of OpenAI's surge, positioning it as one of the bellwethers in the AI space. With the partnership continuing to move from strength to strength, MSFT stock will continue experiencing healthy upward momentum ahead
and it does not surprise me, particularly because bing is not used at all and secondly because chatGPT is being massively used all over the world and as it is going it will surely be much more used on a huge scale and will continue to grow and grow.
You say that but there is a number of search engines that people use that rely on Bing data, for example DuckDuckGo relies on Bing's data (albeit anonymising what gets passed on)
Yes but people don't trust it because there continue to be many examples of "hallucinations", or as I think of it "random nonsense made by rolling dice to pick words" (which is how ChatGPT works under the hood, it only "knows" anything because enough other people have written about it for there to be statistical correlations between things)
We've already seen lawyers filing cases with "references" produced by ChatGPT which look like real references (because it has enough data to come up with something that statistically looks like a reference) but for cases that don't exist (because it doesn't actually know how to look that up)

Bing is also used as a wrapper for ChatGPT, so if your content is indexed and crawled by Bing, it becomes much easier for ChatGPT to display your content to users who are using it to search for information.
ChatGPT uses Bing’s index, so if Bing doesn’t have your page, neither does ChatGPT. It’s not time to panic, but it’s definitely time to get a little cozy with Bing – because ignoring it could mean lost visibility.
ChatGPT Search uses its own algorithm, so it’s less about Bing rankings for many searches affecting ChatGPT Search rankings, but more about the URLs and page content missing from the Bing index will likely cause you not to rank in ChatGPT.
We're seeing more people shifting to using ChatGPT more. Google's search is continuing to be enshitfied as the search results are becoming worse and worse. People are getting tired of it and are looking for alternatives, which so happens to be ChatGPT as many of them are already using it for other purposes.
