EDIT: looks like they’re back.
This is the moment in Scooby-Doo where the gang unmasks the person they’ve just caught and underneath is just the Microsoft Bing logo
yes, everyone on earth.
Bing API is down, which has killed some things.
Microsoft’s Bing API services (the source of DuckDuckGo’s search data) went down at approx 3am ET and has not yet returned to service. Bing, DuckDuckGo, CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.
Ecosia was affected too. It’s Bing with trees.
Thought it was google with trees
CoPilot, ChatGPT and more are unable to use the Bing services so in turn are also not working or not working fully.
That’s sad, since one would logically expect any AI to get better if it loses access to Bing search results.

Why? Because it is down or because you just noticed that is is basicly just a Bing-Proxy?

Nah, just switched to searx for a day, and came back once DDG was up again.
Somebody really Binged it up.
It’s back now.
Yes I had. DuckDuckGo was crippled as Bing was down today.
I was wondering why Ecosia didn’t give me any search results yesterday. Well, now I know.

Why was it pulling firmware from Bing? That’s seems strange
