Nobody seems to be bringing up the questions inherent to a big company moving on this that will have to follow the "rules":
- Why would I ever let bing crawl my site if they aren't going to send any visitors to me?
- fair use of snippets has relied on them being brief and linking to the source. Lawsuits will be immediate.
I do love these imaginary scenarios where ChatGPT is going to find me the best air fryer, though. Where is that information going to come from, exactly? Barely anyone is making money writing reviews today, most sites are farmed content. What happens when even the ok sites' reviews are quickly scraped and put into the next model iteration? Bing is going to have to come up with some kind of radical revenue sharing too if they want anything written after 2023.
