What if we made a search engine so good that our company name became the verb for searching? And then — get this — we replaced the search engine with a robot with a concussion? Google is innovating…
I’ve already stopped using Google because of this bullshit. Fuck ‘em. AI already gives biased responses because you just can’t give a short summary of complex issues provided by a variety of voices. True knowledge arises from complexity.
I’m kinda digging Kagi. Paid, but there’s an anonymization option that seems to have some basis in reality. I find the search results good with a clear tail into nonsense, so you can tell when actual results have run out. YMMV
