Microsoft has introduced two ways for users to disable AI-generated answers in Bing search results. The company acknowledged that user preferences vary, with some preferring traditional search results over AI summaries.
The first method involves the Microsoft Bing AI Search Choice browser extension, currently available in preview for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Once installed, users can toggle AI answers on or off globally.
However, the extension requires users to set Bing as their default search engine upon installation. This condition applies even if the user only intends to manage AI features without changing their browser settings.
Alternatively, users can exclude AI content by adding the '-ai' operator to their search queries. This approach does not require an extension but must be applied manually for every individual search request.
