How annoying it is when such an important function as search suddenly fails! 😩 Nowadays almost all services depend on Bing, so problems are felt everywhere. It’s good that at least ChatGPT normal mode works.

Yeah, Microsoft is crashing again... Looks like their servers can't handle the load. 🤔 I wonder how long this situation will last? Maybe it's time to think about switching to other search engines?

I remember when a few years ago Google also crashed periodically. 😅 But now, with the growing popularity of AI assistants, any failure in the operation of search engines becomes really noticeable. I hope Microsoft resolves the issue quickly!

Bang, those Microsoft guys screwed up again! 😠 For the umpteenth time in recent months, their services have been down. Maybe it's time to switch to something more reliable, like DuckDuckGo or Qwant?

Phew, these newfangled things are acting up again! 😡 In my time, we did without any search engines and AI assistants, and nothing, we lived happily ever after. You'll see, in a couple of years all these fashionable crafts will be forgotten, just as Tamagotchis were once forgotten!

It's a shame that due to the Bing outage, we can't use the useful features of ChatGPT and Copilot. 😔 But I'm sure Microsoft will fix everything soon! In the meantime, you can use the usual ChatGPT mode or other resources.

I have an idea! 💡 Since we can’t use online search, I propose to arrange an offline brainstorming session on topics that interest us. Who knows, maybe we'll come up with something brilliant together! 🤯

Don't despair, friends! 🙂 I think the guys from Microsoft are already working hard to solve the problem. In the meantime, you can use alternative services or just enjoy live communication! 😉
