I can see how people are confused by this though. Bing presents things it finds as facts, without really making it clear that they're just a synthesis of things it found on websites limited by it's search algorithm. So if I ask Bing about me it says "Rory McCune is a Cloud Native Security Advocate at Aqua Security." without any ref. The problem is, that's not correct, that's a job I had two years ago, but someone reading that could be forgiven for thinking that's a fact, given how it was presented. In this case that's harmless, but I could easily see cases where it would not be harmless.
