They’re already right most of the time for real world queries, especially compared to web search which these days almost never gives me what I’m looking for at the top of the results (and often even in the first query). People go out of their way to find failure points and then brag online about having outsmarted the AI as if anyone promised that this tech is infallible. It’s quite embarrassing, really.

How is asking Bing about your own name "going out of [your] way to find failure points"?

Eh. Get back to me when Google purports to be able to understand human language and give factual answers that intelligently integrate search results.
