    I’m still on my Bing diet from Google but they’d be an easy recommend if the search didn’t suck ass. I’m not saying Google is that good either, equally bad on most cases, but from time to time I still need Google’s help because they’re getting me closer to what I want than Bing.

    But sure, focus on spammy, intrusive ads straight in the OS. Fucking idiots. I don’t understand how they think they’ll win that war without improving the product. I hate the AI as well because I can’t trust it.

      I can only recommend you try DuckDuckGo. In my experience, 99% of time, the search results are much, much better than either Google or Bing.

        DuckDuckGo is Bing though. But I agree, search results are absolutely fine compared to Google, and they don’t have the stupid spam nonsense that Bing has.

          According to Wikipedia Bing is only part of the results: “DuckDuckGo’s results are a compilation of “over 400” sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.”

      Anytime they talk about using “AI” at my job it’s in some way that is completely unnecessary and seems to actually make the product shittier. And no, it’s not Bing.
