Why is HN not creating policy against moral prigotry? There is no useful discussion here anymore.
Seriously begging the mods to take a closer look, or at least PG to not abandon his curated internet space.

#112"will find, analyze, and synthesize hundreds of online sources" Synthesize? Seems like the wrong word -- I think they would want to say something like, "analyze, and synthesize useful outputs from hundreds of online sources"..
From New Oxford dictionary:
> combine (a number of things) into a coherent whole: pupils should synthesize the data they have gathered | Darwinian theory has been synthesized with modern genetics.Re: Introducing deep research

You might as well say that DeepSeek wanted to cause confusion with DeepMind. Deep isn't such a distinguishing name, deep learning has been a buzzword since 2012.
Deepmind is not a consumer product. Gemini is part of it but nobody calls it deepmind.
The point is, "deep" is an extremely generic word in the AI space.

#114Surprised more comments aren't mentioning deepseek has this feature (for free) already. Assuming this is why OpenAI scrambled to release it. The examples they have on the page work well on chat.deepseek.com with r1 and search options both enabled. Do I blindly trust the accuracy of either though? Absolutely not. I'm pretty concerned about these models falling into gaming SEO and finding inaccurate facts and presentin…
I wish Kagi would work with similar performance. Their lenses feature is perfect for this and they already filter out most of the SEO spam based on trackers and other typical red flags.

priggery or bigotry? And what are you referring to?
Re: Introducing deep research
#116Feels like only a matter of time before these crawlers are blocked from large swathes of the internet. I understand that they’re already prohibited from Reddit and YouTube. If that spreads, this approach might be in trouble.
Anyone selling anything would want to remain crawlable if people use this to research something that could lead to a purchase.
Not necessarily. Southwest airlines doesnt allow itself on price comparison sites or Google Flights.
Amazon listings are blocked from google shopping and other price comparison sites.

It's more likely this is a response to Gemini Deep Research released in December https://blog.google/products/gemini/google-gemini-deep-resea...
That Google product isnt that good, it can't really replace research done by a person.
Just one tool in the toolbox. It helps to see if some sources have been missed.
Re: Introducing deep research
#118This is terrifying. Even though they acknowledge the issues with hallucinations/errors, that is going to be completely overlooked by everyone using this, and then injecting the outputs into their own powerpoints. Management Consulting was bad enough before the ability to mass produce these graphs and stats on a whim. At least there was some understanding behind the scenes of where the numbers came from, and sources w…
Either you care about being correct or you don't. If you don't care then it doesn't matter whether you made it up or the AI did. If you care then you'll fact check before publishing. I don't see why this changes.
People are much less scrupulous using LLM output than making up stuff themselves, because then they can blame the LLM.

Because maybe you want to, but you have a boss breathing down your neck and KPIs to meet and you haven't slept properly in days and just need a win, so you get the AI to put together some impressive looking graphs and stats that will look impressive in that client showcase thats due in a few hours.
Things aren't quite so black and white in reality.
Re: Introducing deep research
#120Is there a benchmark we can compare this against You.com's research mode? It looks like R1 forced them to release o3 prematurely and give it Internet access. And they didn't want to say they released o3 so they called it 'Deep Research'.
