Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.
Google has started to roll out Bard, its AI chat feature, it is super different from both Bing Chat and Google Search. Bing Chat can now make images with Bing Image creator. Google Search launched a "ranking" section in the search status dashboard. Microsoft is working to relax the chat limits first with "balanced" mode. Google does not remove URLs in robots.txt until the specific URL is processed, not when Google crawls the robots.txt file.

Google's John Mueller posted a clarification on how and when Google processes the removal requests, or exclusion requests, you make in your robots.txt. The action is not taken when Google discovers the change in your robots.txt, but rather after first the robots.txt is processed and then the specific URLs that are impacted are individually reprocessed by Google Search. - Google Cow
Here is a photo from the Google Madison, Wisconsin office of a cow. Well, a fake statue cow, colored in Googley spotted colors. I mean, all offices need fake life-size cows, am I right? - Daily Search Forum Recap: March 21, 2023
