There is a new browser extension available for Chrome and Edge that you can install to toggle off showing AI responses, or you can just add -ai to the end of your query.<\/p> <p>Jordi Ribas, the President, Head of Search at Microsoft, wrote on X about this saying, &#8220;We just shipped a preview extension in Bing that lets you toggle AI chat-like features on or off with just one click.&#8221; <\/p> <p>&#8220;It\u2019s a simple but important step we\u2019re taking to ensure that our users always feel confident they have a choice in the search experience we\u2019re providing,&#8221; he added. <\/p> <p>Here is a screenshot of this extension:<\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seroundtable.com\/bing-disable-ai-browser-extension-Eswx9NcN.jpg\" style=\"max-width:100%\" alt=\"Bing Disable Ai Browser Extension\" title=\"Bing Gives Searchers A Way To Disable AI Copilot Answers\u63d2\u56fe1\" \/><\/p> <p>You don&#8217;t need to use the extension, you can also append -ai to your query to do the same thing. For example, here is a normal query without the -ai:<\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seroundtable.com\/bing-with-copilot-ai-ARwYd92B.png\" style=\"max-width:100%\" alt=\"Bing With Copilot Ai\" title=\"Bing Gives Searchers A Way To Disable AI Copilot Answers\u63d2\u56fe2\" \/><\/p> <p>Now the same query with the -ai:<\/p> <p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seroundtable.com\/bing-without-copilot-ai-f4OIguoY.png\" style=\"max-width:100%\" alt=\"Bing Without Copilot Ai\" title=\"Bing Gives Searchers A Way To Disable AI Copilot Answers\u63d2\u56fe3\" \/><\/p> <p>Jordi Ribas added:<\/p> <blockquote><p>AI is doing powerful things for search, but research tells us that not everyone wants to use AI for everything all the time. With this extension, you decide which experience is right for you in the moment. I\u2019m proud of the AI experiences we\u2019re building in Bing &#8211; I\u2019ve also always taken pride in listening to our users to create products that truly work for them.<\/p><\/blockquote> <p>DuckDuckGo recently saw a huge surge in usage because it does not include AI-generated responses in its search results. I guess Microsoft wants to have it both ways?<\/p> <p>Here is the Chrome extension and here is the Edge extension.<\/p> <p>Some are asking, why build an extension to do this, why not just have a toggle or a setting in your account. Here is how Michael Schechter from Microsoft responded to that:<\/p> <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"> <p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">We\u2019re looking to better understand what people are looking for with features like this.
