Microsoft has introduced Copilot AI responses in the Bing search engine, similar to Google’s approach. When you perform a search on Bing from any web browser, you will likely see AI-generated responses at the top of the results.
While web results are still available, the AI responses often push them down the list, which can be frustrating for users, especially since AI responses can sometimes be slow and inaccurate.
Can You Turn Off Copilot AI Responses on Bing?
Microsoft acknowledges that AI responses may not always meet user expectations and can lead users to consider alternative search engines. To address this, the company has provided an option to disable Copilot AI responses in Bing.
If you’re not a fan of seeing Copilot AI responses in Bing Search, follow these simple steps to turn them off.
