The software giant first introduced malware-like pop-up ads last year with a prompt that appeared over the top of other apps and windows. After pausing that notification to address “unintended behavior,” the pop-ups have returned again on Windows 10 and 11.
Windows users have reported seeing the new pop-up in recent days, advertising Bing AI and Microsoft’s Bing search engine inside Google Chrome. If you click yes to this prompt, then Microsoft will set Bing as the default search engine for Chrome. These latest prompts look like malware, and once again have Windows users asking if they are legit or nefarious. Microsoft has confirmed to The Verge that the pop-ups are genuine and should only appear once.

It is good but don’t abuse it, they’re adding it to office as well. Ai generated content is properly marked but it should come with a warning: use with caution. Actually gemini has that warning and google has a natural fear for the digital beast they helped build. Microsoft looked at it, instead, and decided that everyone needed to get all the ai in the world by the means of their products.
I use it because I have learning difficulties and it’s nice to be able to ask question after question until I nail down the exact detail that I needed to be able to understand the concept I’m trying to learn. I’ll take all the downvotes in the world for this because the benefit I’ve got from using the service far outweighs anything else.
I also use that when I’m overwhelmed by the amount of materials I have to write down. Indeed, it’s rather good for that purpose.
