Maybe it is related to them updating the backend to support GPT-5 in production. I appreciate these downtimes should be planned, but since it's OpenAI, this may be it. One can only hope, though.

Do you mean Xbox One Series X? lol
The value of Bing Chat to me comes from having conversations where I can ask follow-up questions, ask them to elaborate on something they've mentioned, or put it in different words. It may be possible to achieve somewhat similar results under 5 messages, but it is definitely more challenging.

In my case, I like to treat it as a research aid, as someone I can bounce ideas with; that usually leads to me having better ideas or unblocking myself.

I hardly ever use it to search for factual or straightforward responses, as I am competent enough with Google that I can confidently find content about a topic on the Internet if it exists. In these cases, going through a conversational agent is disruptive to my process.

I am very familiar with DSLs but had not heard them called "little languages". I cannot say I find it fitting as it makes me think more of languages with reduced syntax or semantics.
