These alternative search engines really feel like they're fighting the last war. Web content is so reader-hostile that you need a tool to extract the answer/information you're looking for and not just give you a link to the page.
I don’t actually. I have read far too many AI summaries where the llm combines data about two different people with the same name creating a biography of someone that doesn’t exist.
And once the use of chatbots in this role becomes widespread- don’t think for a second that companies won’t sso the thing until it’s about as useful as current search.
I had an issue where Slack AI combined multiple people I work with into a summary that was negative in tone. And of course there was no way to provide feedback on this harmful behavior.
If the dead internet theory comes to fruition, I wonder if there will be "curated internets" where only good actors will be allowed to participate.
