Microsoft is using this announcement to get people to install "Bing Wallpaper" and a mobile app.

That doesn't inspire confidence.

Just waiting on Microsoft to tell me about hot singles in my area, and the trifecta will be complete

Given how ChatGPT was trained to avoid talking about anything remotely related to sex at all costs, it's gonna be awkward.

What is ai good at besides porn?

Writing articles about porn

I have to use a windows PC sometimes and if I accidentally move my mouse to the bottom left of the screen a bunch of Bing News articles pop out telling me about 7 different people dying. I don’t know how to turn it off.

Right click on the taskbar -> Settings -> Widgets toggle to OFF

Thank you

Youtube has been nagging me with ads about hot single moms in my area and I never ever used Youtube or Google or any browser where I was logged in with any personal account to search for anything "spicy" that would lead them to assume I'm into something like that.

I always used a separate 'clean' browser without any accounts for those kinds of searches which I guess was probably not enough as Google simply matched my IP and figured it out. Probably should have used a VPN.

Fingerprinting targets your machine and maybe your gestures(?) If google trusts your IP more than your fingerprint, then VPN may help you to get away with it.

Edge does this already.

Well, Google's getting close; what about "hot shingles in your area"?

I heard that in a Sean Connery accent.

- Hey Google, do you expect me to talk?

- No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy!

Bing Wallpaper is the only good thing that Microsoft has done in years! [1]
