People always misuse searchengines by writing the whole questions as a search…
With ai they still can do that and get, i think in their optinion, a better result

It used to be funny when someone wrote a two sentence long “search query” on google. Nowadays, you can literally do that on any LLM and you’ll get a summary based on a few results. There are a whole bunch of problems with that, but I’ll just let the people from [email protected] to elaborate.
Anyway, I gave this query to DDG: “I just bought a bag of carrots and I don’t know what to do with them. Should I make soup or something? What are the other ingredients I would need for that?”
and got this response:
“You can make a simple carrot soup with just a few ingredients. You’ll need carrots, onions, garlic, broth, and cream or coconut milk. Some recipes also include butter, olive oil, and spices like curry paste or ginger for extra flavor.”
Gotta say, that wasn’t too bad. I didn’t need to open a single cooking blog to figure out what I need.
You already told it you were interested in soup. It didn’t provide cook times, prep work needed or portions. It didn’t mention any other alternatives or possibilities.
You will need to open a recipe blog anyway, after taking the time to read that and determine that it’s not everything you need to know, and it drank the volume of a Honda Civic in water and used enough electricity to heat your house for resistive space heaters for 17 hours in below-zero F weather.
It created that answer by comparing its statistical word tree to other, similar word combinations and then autocompleting the next most likely word you might want to hear. It did not consider your topic in any way, it doesn’t know what’s carrot is, only its token number and that it kind of belong in paragraphs that roughly resemble the one it gave you. It is a reverse-Gaussian-blur of a Gaussian-blurred overlay of a million photos of paragraphs about carrots, soups, and carrot soups.
It carved away forests and poisoned nearby pensioner’s air just to give your this gray area of an answer, devoid of all thought or creativity. It is objectively worse than the ad-strewn sites written by an actual person, in every way, and you’d have to be a fucking madman to offer any praise upon it.
Wow! That’s pretty intense.
9/10, would recommend.
