I just need search engines to have an option to "block" certain sites from my results for all future search queries. Getting rid of Quora would be a good start.

There are Chrome Extensions that do this. Search this site and I'm sure people have recommended good ones.

A common use case is blocking w3schools.

I don't know why they don't mention the excellent WebPilot plugin, which has been able to search the web (on any browser natch) for a while. It has all kinds of nice open source abilities.

Yes I have been using that as one of my main plugins. It's quite good. Another one I use is YT Caption Retriever as I use it to 'summarise the auto generated captions of this youtube video [insert link]' - this saves me heaps of time on certain videos where I just need the gist of them rather than listening to 10 mins of "OH hai guys it's your boi Zurtri here coming at you with another great tip - and hit that subscr…

AI bots are going to replace everything, aren't they?

Instead of getting info/assistance from people or internet posts, we'll all constantly be talking to bots.

The bots will have online learning and/or fine tuning, or access to vector stores.

The AI will sometimes learn from us and share that info with others.

We'll effectively be communicating with one another via LLMs.

And then there will advertising in the bot responses.

Once again, an article that just isn’t true. I’m a paying subscriber but this option doesn’t show up for me.

> It’s a little confusing to get ChatGPT to search the web for you. The company provides instructions for the browser version, but I didn’t find the same for the iOS app. I figured it out, though. Assuming you have a subscription, it’s: three dots menu > Settings > New Features > Browse with Bing. Then, start a new chat, tap GPT-4, and “Browse with Bing.” Then your searches should return information from current websites.

There is no “New Features” section, it doesn’t exist, and yes I’m fully up to date on the app.

I hate that OpenAI continues to get away with pretending things are launched when they aren’t or don’t work.

It also doesn't work most of the time.

It's actually 'Beta Features', not 'New Features'. See here: https://imgur.com/a/2Bzw4sd

That doesn’t show up for me on web or mobile as a paid subscriber.
