Okay, I personally think AI is in a hype cycle. But there's only one "number" in this discussion and that's Bing's market share.

Now yes, I tried Bing Search AI and sometimes I'm able to get a good result. But honestly? It feels slow, sluggish, laggy. The AI responses are nonsensical as well, the AI in Bing simply merges the top results together into paragraph form... and doesn't always write cohesive paragraphs as a result. (Ex: if information in link#1 contradicts link#2, and then sentences are merged together, you'll get an AI-merged, inconsistent sentence/paragraph on those two subjects).

The AI is impressive at word generation, yes. But is it useful? Jury's out. I find searching "normally" to be faster and more effective. I dunno if I just need more "AI Training" or "AI Whispering" to get Bing AI to work correctly, but ... its not easy to use at all.

I've tried using the bing ai multiple times months apart hoping that it will have improved in those months but usually it just spits links at me as if I'd just done a normal search, but the links aren't even relevant. I only tried the google bard thing once and iirc it just did the same thing.
