I gave Bing AI a little test, and it passed! It answered my question within seconds, showing good reading comprehension skills.

Kind of falls apart with more realistic queries though. Asked it a specific tech support question and told it to favor forum posts and reviews. It gave a nicely organized response with a summary of very useful sounding results from various forums, but all the links were just for the homepage of the company that makes the product. Asked it to try again without linking to that site, and it apologized and repeated the response with all links removed entirely.

That sounds like how Bing AI has responded to me on some points also. It refuses to search certain websites. On some things, Bing AI is helpful, but on other things it is stubborn, as in your example where it refused to give you the kind of sources you were looking for.
