I don't think Google can be blamed too much for presenting an article from a relevant, generally trustworthy site, that has the search query as the article title.

For the record though, I used bing for the duration of 2023, sort of as an experiment to use the ai assistant.
Bing search is worse that Google by a long shot. I almost always gave up and used Google.
Bing is even more heavily monetized and encrusted with garbage than Google is.
I see a lot of my friends actually use Bing through ChatGPT, and they seem to get better results than Google. That might be what Microsoft is actually optimizing Bing for
well, that was last year, right?
I wouldn't bet on Bing search results having gotten better since then, but I would bet on Google search results having gotten worse since then.
The results of my experiment still seem to be true
Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.
I set my default to duck duck go, and it's getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity
