I will avoid bing because they have AI search just like google, but with Google you can turn it off. So that is why I like google

Yeah, sure, they turn it off....

Why would they keep it on? Sure, they will continue to collect data for their AI, but I'm pretty sure they are happy that they don't want to keep it on if it might drive you to use other search engines. And turn it back on after a few versions of optimization

As in the user can turn it off

I would suggest duck duck go over Google.

DDG uses Bing results but doesn't serve you the ads on AI features.

I've found as people use DDG, Bing has become more and more useable day-to-day. Used to only really be good for porn, because people didn't want to Google it but felt comfortable using Bing. Now it's getting more relevant results as people use it to troubleshoot and research, etc.

I personally use a mix like SearXNG and startpage and whoogle but yes
