Its not just you, there are memes that compare Google search results and Bing results now, with Bing giving more mechanically specific responses

Google has "overfitted" because their A/B test told them messing up more queries gets them higher "engagement". They are masquerading engagement as satisfaction, clouded by their incentive to have people dwell on ads longer.

Memes:

I think you're missing the idea of those memes if you think those are favoring Bing results...

They are now though

The bing memes go back ten years when it was giving unexpected worse results

The same memes are being repurposed because the same experience is giving better results than google’s differently worse results
