Bing Copilot shows ads before users complete the verification

Bing Copilot is showing ads before users complete the CAPTCHA verification, an unusual behavior spotted in the AI Mode-branded search experience.

Bing Copilot is showing ads before a user completes the verification. I searched for something in Bing Copilot, which now appears to be renamed as “AI Mode” in Bing. When I entered my query, a verification appeared, but Bing was already showing ads before I filled it in.

Here is a screenshot of this behavior.

It was interesting to see, since the ads appeared before the human verification step was finished. This could be a display quirk, or it may just be how Bing loads ad results ahead of the verification check.
