        Considering Google has put effort into intentionally worsening its own product, it makes sense that their chapel alternative would be something people just use.

        Since Bing and Google have both integrated LLMs into their search engine, it’s a valid use case, according to the people who made it.

        Copilot honestly doesn’t suck for finding obscure support contact information for companies. Obviously you still have to verify after.

          I hesitantly wonder if something like Perplexity might actually be the future of search engines. It seems relatively capable of correctly interpreting search queries full of half-remembered thoughts and potentially inaccurate text into salient results. I disregard the guestimations it makes about the links it provides (of course) but the couple of times I tried it out this way, it seemed to work better than Google.

          I also wonder how much energy it requires compared to whatever trash Google returns.

    It does it all the time when is ask it a question involving anything with a web presence. The bullet pointed information will be partially incorrect but even worse, the links attached as references connect to something entirely unrelated and seemingly random.
