There are big categories of common problems that, in retrospect, were never good applications for Google search.
Bing AI, even with occasional inaccuracies, is just better for things like:
🧑💻Tech support
📍Deciding what to do/where to eat
⚒️How-to advice
❓Getting started advice

the real trick is nonlegacy white students. 43% of white Harvard students are legacy. it is the case that elite schools aren't admitting qualified white students, but the reason is that they are admitting vast numbers of unqualified white students. https://t.co/0sNQwJm6uf
