Happy Monday! Hospitals in California and Washington are testing using ChatGPT to read patient messages and draft responses from doctors. Insurance companies must be licking their lips awaiting their turn…

🌶 Highlight of the day 🌶

Microsoft is trying to direct users to Bing Chat when they visit Bard on its Edge browser. Users are shown a CTA in the address bar that encourages them to compare Bard’s answers with Bing’s chatbot. The CTA activates Edge’s split view, letting users compare results side-by-side 👀

The feature points to an interesting future where products aggregate across AI chatbots to find the best result. It’s also an aggressive move that could backfire given Google can do the same for the much bigger market of Chrome users 🔥
