Well... It looks like the Search Paradigm for using the Microsoft Bing System will take a Quantum Leap over to AI soon... and cut off access to API Development on August 11th, 2025. Remember all of those "Brainy Programmers" populating Silicon Valley as Software Development started up in the late 1980's and beyond?
They (and their Ilk & brethren) may have finally managed to "Brain" their ways completely OUT OF JOBS. Microsoft is "encouraging" their use of AI soon and abandoning an Open Platform ordinarily the province of HTML Search Engines in favor of a Monetized Business Model that will more or less obviate any need for "Bread & Butter API Developers" and place the AI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY and QUALITY SEARCH itself... firmly inside of their POCKETS!
THIS is How it USED to BE! (Full Time Software Engineers...)
Remember "Agent Smith"...in "The Matrix"... Well...*HE* is FOR REAL NOW!

For this reason and others, I am trying to emulate the role of "John The Baptist" here concerning AI and Warn everybody to get on the ground floor of having their Own FREE Chat-Bots and LLMs Resources before The Great Powers of the Internet (Microsoft, Google, Facebook) manage to get such *Things* legislated away from FREE publication over on GITHUB, etc.

From Waterfox:
"Bing has terminated all of its search syndication and API services, and will likely be removed completely in a future version. We are currently exploring whether Waterfox Private Search can be monetized in a user-friendly way to make it the default. ↩
