Bing AI Mode starts a separate baseline. Copilot remains a separate public engine and keeps its history; changes across the switch are not like-for-like growth.
How AI engines see them
All three engines describe Alex Crichton as a Rust contributor tied to Mozilla and to Cargo. They agree that he worked on the standard library, tooling and WebAssembly support. Google AI Mode adds work on the Future trait, the MSVC Windows target and procedural macros. ChatGPT adds that he announced scaling back his day-to-day Rust involvement in 2020. Gemini adds his role in the Bytecode Alliance, Wasmtime and WASI. Every engine names the person, so none omit him. The most cited domains are rust-lang.org and codedive.pl, each appearing in two engine citations.
