Yesterday Google and now Microsoft both announcing their own chat bot integration and yet there is not a single link where I can try out either one of them. What is this new trend of announcing things as if it's available for general use and then hiding it behind invites or not making it available at all.

Edge is genuinely very very good. It does have some dev tool problems that I've run into, but for browser it's top notch.

Does it nag you constantly and do everything it can to steal data from you? I think lots of Microsoft products are now technically very good, but I don't like using them because they can't stop annoying me about stuff, and every time I turn my back are committing industrial espionage.

I get nagged more by google to use chrome whnvever you go to their sites in another browser.

Am I the only person annoyed that the first 30 links on this page are to 'theverge.com'? I want to get to Bing itself. Or at least the waitlist. I don't want to have to parse through so much text and get distracted. In fact, the only place where 'bing.com/new' shows up is in the source code used for what I think is SEO. I cannot find an href anywhere pointing to bing.com/new So here it is: https://bing.com/new

I get redirected to regular bing when I visit, with an apparent error code in the URL. Is this not fully rolled out?

Not sure, works for me, but I visit with Edge. Maybe that's the issue?

It seems not. I've been unable to access it.

So much for "citing its work." The answer I got here: https://www.bing.com/search?q=What%20cars%20should%20I%20con... Says the Tesla Model Y can go from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds, and has a citation link to a page that... doesn't even mention Tesla once.

Yeah. I think folks have gotten too caught up in the hype...

404 and redirects to homepage.

Off topic: Anyone knows how to get rid of wall of news on bing homepage? I tried disabling it but it still loads it and makes it visible if I scroll down.

I wonder what this and whatever Google has got planned will do to content generation on the web. If whatever you write will now easily get hoovered up into an AI but you don't get the benefit of actual clicks to your site, will you still be motivated to post? And will more content go behind a paywall to avoid getting freely used by AI? That said, I do hope it strikes a blow to a lot of awful SEO content out there.

Or maybe it will make clickbait and SEO less valuable so original content becomes valuable again?

I like Edge and I want to like Bing but my problem is that the new tab page on Edge and the landing page on (current) Bing are so bad. They're full of random junk and articles I don't want to see. I'll switch to Bing full time if they just make the landing page clean.

There are settings that will hide all of it, at least until you scroll, but it would be nice to have it just be the search and Bing image of the day (or no image if that's your jam.)

Aside from telling you about the new GPT functionality I don't see anything else on the landing page at bing.com:

Am I missing something? That link just shows the usual search results. Did they not roll this out in the EU yet or something?
