Microsoft is also planning another ad format within the chatbot that will be geared toward advertisers in specific industries. For example, when a user asks the new AI-powered Bing "what are the best hotels in Mexico?", hotel ads could pop up, according to the ad executive."
Hahaha I even said something about planning a trip to Mexico when this first came up.

It does make me wonder how much we can trust a system like this over time though given how unreliable Google can be due to ads.
Isn't this illegal?
What makes this even more infuriating is that this is published by a Gulf publication whose countries have done 0 to help Syrian refugees during the civil war. We and Lebanon have taken the most refugees throughout the conflict while we are poor and, in the case of Lebanon, financially and politically unstable. At least the Europeans are helping each other, we got none of that from the despotic and corrupt rulers in the region.
