Microsoft Is Trying to Trick You Into Using Copilot


If you search for things like ChatGPT or Gemini on Microsoft's search engine, Bing, you'll find an interesting result at the top of the page: Microsoft's own AI chatbot, Copilot.

I think if you are searching for one web browser, and Microsoft offers you a link to another, it's fairly obvious you're choosing between those two programs. However, I can see how it might be confusing for someone looking for ChatGPT on Bing to see a search bar appear right away, with an encouraging message to get started then and there—especially if they don't know what Copilot is. To the untrained eye, you might think you landed on Google already, as the top half of the window looked very much like the iconic search engine.
