I'd rather have 40% accuracy instead of 100% ads. Search engines are dead...
Edit: Why are you guys hating so much? Do you really prefer to look at traditional search engine results and read all the AI trash that's been SEOed to appear at the top of your results?? At this point I'd rather search with AI.
Also of course both methods have their strengths and weaknesses. You should always verify any answers you get from an LLM ( and the same for traditional search engines)
And one last thing AI is not pure evil imo. But yeah, a lot of it is however searching and data filtering seems an alright use case to me. It's not like a normal web search is ad free and unbiased with however many plugins you install.
Use an ad blocker and be diligent in your search. Relying on AI makes you dumber
Have piHole set up, I have a VPN and I have been using adblocker for over 10 years. I was taking about the SEO. The search results are poisend. Whatever you search it's mostly ads packed as a "blogs" optimized to appear on top of the search results.
I'm not defending AI here however I do think that using AI as a knowlage base look up tool is a more useful application of the tech
SEO will be replaced with GEO, so that's not going to solve anything I'm afraid.
How in your mind SEO is a problem, but AI blindly choosing SEO pages isn't?

Nah, I’ll take Door #3: give me a good search engine that filters out that SEO’d garbage, and that doesn’t use AI at all. That’s what I want.
That would be so fucking nice. The Internet has really gotten so much shittier the longer big tech is in charge.
I recently started visiting the forums I used to basically live on prior to reddit, it's refreshing to have (mostly) civil discourse and not be in an echo chamber.
As if they wouldn't inject just as many ads once they have enough market share.
Unless it's open source this will always be the end game. It happend with search engines and will happen with LLMs too. But right now LLMs don't have ads yet so it's a way better experience.
Chrome is open source and they are forcing out ad blocking, which is the same end result as injecting ads.
Open source is part of it. Ethical maintainers is the other.
Thinking they aren't going to inject ads into AI at some point is naive.
And how do you know the AI results aren’t advertisements? I honestly prefer them to show me straight up ads rather than disguising them as content.
On Firefox, this even blocks Youtube ads.
