My biggest surprise in AI 2024 was that it seems that Bing did not manage to take any market share from Google:

ChatGPT now has hundreds of millions of users. Personally, I do over 50% of my "searches" on LLMs now. And Bing, while having access to ChatGPT and being the default search engine on every Windows machine seems to not have gained any traction from it.

Equally personally, after a whole bunch of negative experiences I've started to avoid LLMs like the plague; now I'm wondering if the non-growth of Bing is an indicator that there are more people like me than there are like you…

I use the Kagi AI answer especially when I have a basic understanding (or I once did and forgot some bridge concept) and am looking to get an ELI5ish clarification.

Or if its pop culture of little consequence.

It’s been terribly unreliable in my experience (Bing) so I’m not surprised that it’s not getting wider adoption. Half the time I try to interact with it, it just resets the conversation randomly. Other times I can’t even get it to open without closing all running Edge processes from task manager first. It just seems the most buggy and half baked of all the major AI.

Wait, companies are claiming that large language models are separate legal entities??
