I haven't used it through Bing recently, but last I tried, I found whatever custom prompt and/or tuning they're using made it much more cumbersome than chatgpt plus. It's far less willing to give you answers from training data, and instead wants to search the web for everything. Sometimes that's useful, when you want it to search a website for a particular piece of information, say. But most of the time I can more effectively search the web myself. Where I find gpt-4 most useful is when it can give me answers, or at least a starting point, directly from its "knowledge". (Which I would of course verify as necessary.) Like I said though, I haven't used it recently. I've added a custom prompt to chatgpt to only search the web when necessary, if it can't provide a good answer otherwise; if you can now do something similar with Bing chat, and it respects it, maybe it will work fine. (Though when I did try it a while back, I found it more restricted in general; the web searching was just the most obvious thing.)
