Bing Adds a Toggle to Turn Off AI Answers via Extension or the -ai Operator
lilyraynyc · x · 2026-11-12
Microsoft Bing now lets users opt out of AI-generated answers in two ways: a preview "AI Search Choice" browser extension for Chrome and Edge with a simple on/off toggle, and a no-install -ai search operator (e.g. why is the sky blue -ai). Bing frames it as giving users choice rather than stepping back from AI. Search-industry observers note how much simpler this is than Google's approach to opting out of AI Overviews — Bing and ChatGPT (with its Business Hub click-data toggle) both just say yes.
