Why we care. Visual search is a big part of search in general, Bing Search added this feature back in 2018, while Google has Google Lens. Google also just rolled out Google Lens in Bard last week. Bing Chat was testing this feature for over a month.

Bridging visual and search with AI can be a lot of fun but don’t trust everything you see on these AI search features, they still can hallucinate.
