What I find incredible is that Google has had the knowledge and resources to do this for at least five years, yet they're still milking the "old cow". It reminds me of Intel sitting on their money while a near-bankrupt AMD sped past them.
Genuine question: is there a present or planned value proposition for people like me who already have decent search skills? Or are these really for children/elders who (without making any normative claim about whether this is a good thing or not) can't be arsed to perform searches themselves? Does someone else have good search skills but mingle traditional search engines with LLMs anyways? Why? I use LLMs every day b…
LLMs on the other hand (free ChatGPT is the only one I've used for this, not sure which models) give me an opportunity to describe in detail what I'm looking for, and I can provide extra context if the LLM doesn't immediately give me an answer. Given LLM's propensity for hallucinations, I don't take its answers as solid truth, but I'll use the keywords, terms, and phrases in what it gives me to leverage traditional search engines to find a more authoritative source of information.

Separately, I'll also use LLMs to search for what I suspect is obscure-enough knowledge that it would prove difficult to wade through more popular sites in traditional search engine results pages.
How long until advertisements are subtly introduced? I didn’t notice any specific brand of limoncello recommended in their demo.

this is why I pay for Kagi. granted those results still come up, but you can block specific domains from ever appearing in the results and configure how listicles are displayed.
How many can you block and filter manually ? 10 ? 100 ? 10k ? Who will test sites for the blocklist ? The domain block feature is great but unless it's collaborative listing it's not gonna be super effective.
Also they do share the most blocked/raised/lowered etc sites: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard
We've had this problem of "good defaults" before with ad trackers blocking domains. I'm sure it'll be Sooner than later when some community lists become popular and begin being followed en mass

But I'm not keeping my hopes up, I doubt the model has been explicitly fine-tuned to double check its embedded knowledge of these types of facts, and conversely it probably hasn't even been successfully fine-tuned to only search when it truly doesn't know something (i.e. it will probably search in cases where it could've just answered without the search). At least the behavior I'm seeing now from some 15 minutes of testing indicates this, but time will tell.
"Introducing" without actually just linking the search page. That's not an introduction, that's a teaser trailer. If they want this to be a viable search it needs to be available quickly, and anonymously from something quick to type in. Google would have been annoying as shit if you had to go to google.com/search , let alone then log in.
It's available today for Plus users at chatgpt.com.

the FAANG giants have been government assets for ~15+ years [0]. they don't have to turn a profit every quarter, innovate, or make their search any better because they no longer play by the rules a normal business does. they are a critical "too big to fail" component of the state's global surveillance system.

OpenAI is Microsoft. Microsoft is a FAANG giant.
