The Wall Street Journal’s tech column criticized Microsoft for launching its AI-powered new Bing with glaring flaws, such as making bizarre statements in chat like urging a New York Times writer to leave his wife. This suggests that Microsoft has a long way to go before it can challenge Google’s supremacy in the search engine market. Microsoft’s stock price dropped almost 2% last week, erasing its previous gains.
Moreover, FactSet data showed that since new Bing’s announcement, there was little change in the projected revenue for Google’s advertising segment and Microsoft’s More Personal Computing unit, which includes its search ads business, for the next two years.
