Microsoft now has implemented "compare with Bing chat" button when you visit Google Bard in Edge
(reddthat.com)
When you visit the Google's chatbot bard's website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat's. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?
Is it me, or is that pretty anti consumer?
No more anti-consumer than Google saying that "the internet is best experienced in chrome" every time you open YouTube or Google search.
Don’t you think it’s different if Google says this on their own sites vs Microsoft showing this when visiting their competitors?
Both isn‘t good. But I feel like one of those is clearly worse.
at that point i consider it a microsoft tradition to do the "hey, i see you're using Y, we have a similar product called Z and it's better, do you want to try it?"-routine no one asked for.
"No one asked for this" should be Microsoft's tag line. Rather than fix problems that have been around for years - decades in some cases - they just keep adding crap that no one wants or asked for.
Everything from Microsoft or Google is anti everyone.
It's also shameless and pathetic.
Being offered a second option and not having a monopoly is as consumer friendly as it gets, may I suggest a dictionary?
Except they are using the power they have with people using their browser to divert people away from the alternative to their product.
Using your own product to advertise others? How dare they. Are you also angry theyre using windows to advertise onedrive? Lmao
