How to use Bing Chat on Safari

It’s fair to say that AI has blown up. From the moment thatthe power of ChatGPTfirst reached the masses, you haven’t been able to go anywhere or read anything without AI being mentioned at some point.

Whether AI ends up destroying humanity or just making us its slave remains to be seen, but what’s certain is that the natural language processing tools that make use of AI technology are an enormous leap forward.

One of the easiest ways to take advantage of AI tech is through a chatbotsuch as Bing Chat. Until now, if you wanted to use Bing Chat in a browser, that browser needed to beMicrosoft Edge. There is good news if you preferChromeor Safari, however: Bing Chat is being launched on those browsers too. If you’re a Mac user, here’s how to use Bing Chat on Safari.

What is Bing Chat?

Bing Chat isan AI chatbotcreated by Microsoft that is an additional feature of the Bing search engine. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses in natural language rather than typing your query into the search engine. It’s based on the popular ChatGPT tech (via OpenAI) but allows you to make use of the powerful text-generation AI system within the Bing search engine.

What can Bing Chat do?

Instead of typing a query into Bing’s search engine and then choosing from a list of search results, Bing Chat allows you to hold a conversation with the AI chatbot to access the information that you need. You’re not just limited to asking for information, however. You can ask Bing Chat to do pretty much anything, such as suggesting recipes,producing AI-generated images, summarising blog posts, or writing you a resignation letter. The only real limit is that you’re restricted to five replies on the same topic to avoid Bing Chat getting confused and wandering into questionable territory. You’re also limited to 50 questions in total per day.

Which browsers offer Bing Chat?

Initially, Bing Chat was only available in Microsoft’s Edge browser, apparently in an effort to get more people to use it. However, areport from Windows Latestfirst indicated that the chatbot was being introduced to Bing’s search engine onGoogle Chromeand Apple’s Safari. The feature is currently being rolled out, however, so won’t be available to every Chrome or Safari user. At the time of writing, we were able to use Bing Chat on Chrome but were not yet able to access it on Safari.

Is Bing Chat on Safari the same as on Edge?

Bing Chat on Chrome and Safari is almost exactly the same as on Edge, but there is one key difference. In Edge, your query can be up to 4,000 characters long. On Chrome and Safari, this is limited to 2,000 characters.

The other big difference is that if you’re already using Bing Chat on Edge, you won’t be hit with the requests to install Edge that pop up when you’re using Bing Chat on Chrome or Safari.
