    I’ve started getting those AI responses from Google now and I honestly skip right past them.

    I fundamentally don’t trust the information so what’s the point of even reading it?

        Yes, but in my experience other search engines still give slightly worse results.

        Kagi seemed good, but don’t wanna pay for it. Or at least not as much as they’re charging.

          Startpage gives you the same google results, minus the AI responses.

          I’ve been using Brave Search in the past few months and i can’t notice any difference in quality from Google in regular search.

          The only difference I can’t notice is the quality in image searches.

      Most of this AI stuff is trash. I think Google AI has maybe once given me a useful answer. Amazon has this thing called Rufus that just slows down the process of searching customer reviews. Just like Google, it’s maybe once or twice given me useful information and none of it worth the wait that it takes for the search results to come up.

      But we are pouring billions into it and increasing our data center power usage by 10x because It’s The Future …

        The problem is AI will always confidently give you an answer like its word is fact. Obviously since you’re the one searching, you’re most likely unable to verify its accuracy so it’s impossible to trust.

        I dont mind AI being wrong when i can immediately tell when its wrong but in searches I’ll never trust it

          That’s a very good point. Things like chat GPT can accelerate the process of doing something that takes time but a human knows when it’s done correctly. But in anything where finding truth is the goal, it shouldn’t be trusted yet.

      The AI responses are so incredibly bad.

      I searched for a video game walkthrough that has a similar name to a movie, and it GAVE ME THE MOVIE PLOT.

      What a shit show.
