They don't realize how much they fucked up when they forced users to download the Bing app in order to use GPT in Bing.

They had the perfect chance to hijack Google by making users switch their default search engine in Chrome. But no, they had to get greedy as fuck, and now Bing is dead again.

They went all-in and lost. Who is using Bing search now? Nobody, people want to use Chrome.

I'd have probably used Bing for a longer time and maybe would have gotten used to it (only for GPT) if they hadn't forced me to download their app.
