Bing has been revamped to prioritize AI search results – whether you like it or not (www.techradar.com)

Microsoft has just announced a huge update to Bing that overhauls the search engine to put AI-powered answers first.

This means that when a search query is entered, the results page will pop up with a primary AI-generated answer detailing all the curated sources that have been tapped to get that result. You’ll still get the traditional search results on the Bing search page, but they will be presented to the side of the AI-generated material (in a smaller right-hand panel).

This change is currently rolling out to a small number of Bing users, but it’ll presumably become more widely available before too long. From what we can tell there’s no obvious way to turn off the AI results if you wanted to do so.

I don't know, it just works for me.

I use duckduckgo exclusively. It happens that I occasionally switch to Google (which is btw very easy with "!g") but that pretty much never solves my problem.
