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.
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.
