Microsoft Edge will advertise BingAI when you use Google's Bard chatbot

Microsoft Edge may be a good replacement for Google's Chrome, but now it's showing some not-so-nice rivalry tricks - for example, it's advertising BingAI while you're using Google's BardAI. This was first reported by Twitter user @vitor_dlucca, who said that in the latest beta version of the browser, when using BardAI in the address bar, Edge offers you to compare answers with BingAI.

But besides just being intrusive, this "feature" has something interesting in it, namely a new split view in Microsoft Edge, where you can actually visually compare the answers of both chatbots.

The new Bing AI advert is displayed on both the current version of Microsoft Edge for Mac (version 114.0.1807.1) and Windows.
