While these sponsored responses are clearly labeled as such, it does make one question how far we\u2019ve really come from the old model of ads on search engines.<\/p>\n Microsoft confirmed this is happening, albeit in an experimental form, in a blog post published today<\/a>.

\u2022 For our Microsoft Start partners, placing a rich caption of Microsoft Start licensed content beside the chat answer helping to drive more user engagement with the content on Microsoft Start where we share the ad revenue with the partner. We\u2019re also exploring placing ads in the chat experience to share the ad revenue with partners whose content contributed to the chat response.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
