Chatbots are designed to combine ChatGPT dialogue technology with information provided by traditional search engines.

In February of this year, Microsoft integrated ChatGPT's AI chat technology into Bing.

Due to the high cost of building an entire network, search engines such as DuckDuckGo have launched their own AI chatbots around Bing data.

Microsoft has told at least two customers that importing Bing into its AI chat tool is in violation of the terms of the contract and may stop licensing and provide access to the search engine, people familiar with the matter said.

"We have been engaging with non-compliant partners and continue to fully enforce our terms," ​​Microsoft said in a statement.

If Microsoft really cuts off the data supply, it may be difficult for small search engines to find a replacement in a short time.
