Can it find free to watch streams of tv shows and movies? Well Google doesn't work for that either anymore really, but I tried the russian search engine some time ago and it actually delivered.

Edit: Got the recommendation to try the russian search engine for another topic while i frustrated couldn't find anything on the common search engines and it worked. So for anyone out there looking into uncommon topics which are filtered you can give it a try.

I introduced my wife to ChatGPT. A week later she told me “ChatGPT is everything I always wanted Google to be”.

It was a much more enlightening comment than any detailed review or analysis could provide me.

That quickly, over a decade of built up user engagement vanished.

Kagi also seems to work for this when searching for "stream movies online". It also has LLM integration if you add a question mark to the end, and this answer also includes a free movie service with a link in the answer.

I really love using ChatGPT within Raycast and I use it all the time and I’m sure it is replacing my kagi searches quite a bit.

I do use perplexity and I’m hoping that ChatGPT search can replace my perplexity subscription. I pay for so many subscriptions and would love to reduce them.

It’s ironic, because I’m paying for ChatGPT’s subscription, but I often pay for the api so I can use the latest model without restriction as well and I most often use ChatGPT through my Raycast subscription. The state of AI subscription services in insane.

I did a similar test and tried to pull up certain categories of individuals I am interested in, with their names and linkedin profile links. ChatGPT hallucinated the names and the links.

I simply cannot move to a search, where there is random hallucination because having to check for each and every result for hallucination defeats the purpose of search itself.

My wife, and business partner also adopted ChatGTP into her workflow way faster than I expected. Many of her requests are simple copywriting tasks she used to request of me.

While my initial tests of ChatGTP search weren't great: I asked for a sports score and it gave me results from 2023. I'm 50/50 on it replacing a significant number of our Google queries in 2025.
