<ul class="summary-list"><li>Microsoft's new Bing is powered by technology from OpenAI, whose megahit bot ChatGPT is reshaping search.</li><li>Google announced its own AI bot Bard, which is still being tested.</li></ul><p>Large language model tools aren't new, but the instant popularity of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-chat-gpt-2023-1">OpenAI's ChatGPT</a> has pitted Microsoft against Google in the emerging online search wars, and could even change how the internet will look.  </p><p>Microsoft's new Bing chatbot, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-gpt-3-5-powering-new-microsoft-bing-search-engine-2023-2">powered by OpenAI's technology</a> as part of their <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-investing-billions-into-chatgpt-creator-openai-partnership-2023-1">"multibillion dollar" partnership</a>, is still working through apparent glitches. (Bing's AI chatbot has already made a name for its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bing-chatgpt-ai-chatbot-argues-angry-responses-falls-in-love-2023-2">feisty and bizarre responses</a> with users who've been able to test it out). </p><p>But the hype seems still strong — Microsoft executive Yusuf Mehdi <a href="https://twitter.com/yusuf_i_mehdi/status/1625729750240223237?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> this week that "multiple millions" are on a waitlist to try the bot, and that it's being tested in "169 countries." </p><p>Google meanwhile seems to be working to push its own Bard AI chatbot out the door, with CEO Sundar Pichai <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-bard-chatbot-googlers-sundar-pichai-2023-2">urging employees</a> to work to get the bot ready to deploy. </p><p>The technology promises to transform search from a mundane query that issues a page listing results. Insider's own <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-ai-compared-to-new-bing-search-chatbot-answers-2023-2">tests of the new Bing</a>, for instance, found it to be an interactive process where the bot could sometimes act like an assistant to quickly trawl through the internet to make specific recommendations for travel and sight-seeing or create daily schedules. </p><p>But that conversational, AI-assistant type model could translate to other activities that consumers do online, like shopping, or managing their budgets, or tracking their exercise, said Prasanna Arikala, chief technology officer at the Orlando-based company <a href="http://kore.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kore.ai</a>. </p><p>The challenge, as OpenAI's own leadership has acknowledged, will be to make sure that the bots provide reliable information, he said. </p><p>"It is definitely going to change the way that we live our lives," Arikala told Insider. "But then, it's very important to understand where the line is in terms of what to believe, and how to consume that information responsibly."  </p><p>ChatGPT itself can also help train other AI models, Said Cameron Turner, VP of data science at Kin + Carta, a Chicago-based consulting firm that advises companies on using data effectively to develop their business. Turner also previously led a key data-oriented team at Microsoft called its telemetry group. </p><p>Turner said that ChatGPT could help produce organized data to transform information into fodder that can train other AI models on more specialized uses. AI technology <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/13-most-promising-earlier-stage-ai-startups-this-year-2022-11">is being developed, for instance</a>, in assisting with health care research, to fight cyberattacks, and to improve supply chain logistics. </p><p>Using AI in this way can help "if you want to experiment in a low cost way, without making a commitment, without doing large scale data purchasing just to test the hypothesis," he said. </p><p>And it's not just the internet. Tech experts also said they're also hopeful that OpenAI's evolving language processing tool can enhance other kinds of cutting-edge technology that humans interact with. It could, for instance, help robots learn to communicate, said Tesca Fitzgerald, an assistant professor at Yale University who teaches a class on artificial intelligence, and researches in robotics.  </p><p>Robots are taught and programmed to move, detect their surroundings, and navigate their environment, with each of those components requiring specialized expertise, Fitzgerald said. OpenAI's GPT technology can be used to help robots "talk" with humans directing them, she said. </p><p>"We could use GPT to explain to robots how to break down a problem into easier steps to execute tasks," said Fitzgerald.</p>

If you have the money to travel in luxury, Mykonos will fulfill every fantasy you've ever had of Greece.</span></p><p><span>On a recent trip to Mykonos, I decided to travel a day on each end of the travel budget.</span></p><p><span>My first night, I booked the cheapest (livable) place I could find. In July - peak season for the island - that was a difficult endeavor. I ended up booking a night at Marinas Studios, a guesthouse in Ornos Bay. The only thing cheaper that was available was a camping hostel with reviews that complained of bed bugs.</span></p><p><span>The room at <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/gr/marinas-studios.en-gb.html">Marinas Studios</a> was fine, if spartan, with three twin beds, a small kitchen, and a shower where you had to hold the shower-head, and a bar of soap. The sheets and blanket were thin and scratchy, like something you might find at a hostel. There were no communal facilities and no breakfast was included.</span></p><p><strong>Here's a photo from my room at the budget option, which costs $130/night:</strong></p><p><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5b64af9f2154a31d008b49e9-2200/5-greece-mykonos-santorini-travel-billionaires-islands 4 of 44.jpg" border="0" alt="5 Greece Mykonos Santorini Travel Billionaires Islands (4 of 44)" data-mce-source="Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider" data-link="https://www.instagram.com/harrisonxjacobs" /><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harrisonxjacobs">Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider</a></span></p><p class="caption">My room at Marinas Studios.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span>The guesthouse was well-located, however - a short walk from a number of restaurants in Ornos, as well as a couple beaches. </span></p><p><span>The following night, I booked a room </span><span>at one of the oldest and most luxurious hotels resorts on the island: the <a href="https://www.myconianambassador.gr/">Myconian Ambassador Relais &amp; Chateau</a></span><span>.

That is a big jump," he said. "Did you make a mistake?" </span></p><p><span>In contrast to the barebones room at Marinas, the room at the Myconian Ambassador was a palace.</span></p><p><span>It included a king bed, a stereo system, a rain shower, and a balcony that looked out to the sea with sunbeds and a hot tub. The bathroom included amenities from Molton Brown and Kores - both high-end personal care brands.</span></p><p><span>The Myconian Ambassador had a spa, a pool deck with restaurant and bar service, attendants who came by with complimentary smoothies and personal care products, an elaborate breakfast buffet, and a high-end restaurant.</span></p><p><span>But the vast difference between the two experience truly hit me when I saw the sunrise from the balcony of my room at the Myconian Ambassador.</span></p><p><strong>Here's a photo of my room at the luxury option, which costs $1,000/night: </strong></p><p><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5b64afdb89c8a119008b4d21-2200/greece-mykonos-santorini-travel-billionaires-islands 42 of 44.jpg" border="0" alt="Greece Mykonos Santorini Travel Billionaires Islands (42 of 44)" data-mce-source="Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider" data-link="https://www.instagram.com/harrisonxjacobs" /><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/harrisonxjacobs">Harrison Jacobs/Business Insider</a></span></p><p class="caption">The balcony of my room at the Myconian Ambassador.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span>See the difference?
