Using language models to summarize search results seems like a great use for LLMs. Summarize all of the 50 pages of SEO spam and maybe you will get what you're looking for.
Should be good for cooking recipes then.

#782Now we can use an AI chatbot to get an AI summary of articles written by AI, the future is amazing!!!
Their main example is exactly what's wrong with tourism and why everyone does the exact same things in the exact same places, it's the final stage of consumerism, you consume cities like you consume fast food or netflix shows.
You want to have a nice time on the amalfi coast ? Get there, leave your phone at the hotel and walk, explore things by yourself, try food by yourself, don't be a tool
Re: ChatGPT Search
#783Genuine 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…
it seems absolutely wonderful for searches that require multiple steps. for example “i want chinese food near me that will be open tomorrow, takes reservations, and has lo mein and will work for my group of two. i want as close as possible if i can but also let me know what reviews say”
my search skills are good but either way that requires 3+ searches and visiting the menu of each restaurant and checking their hours and reservation. remains to be seen if chatgpt search is consistently good at this though
Re: ChatGPT Search
#784This is probably Google's Altavista moment, by making their results crappier by the year in search of Ad dollars everyone has felt that there is a potential for search to be better and once that becomes available they'll be in a continious game of catch-up. Yes, Google has their own AI divisions, tons of money and SEO is to blame for part of their crappiness. But they've also _explicitly_ focused on ad-dollars over a…
Google, even with all the trillions in additional productivity it has added to the world, has left the world at a net-negative. We can't even quantify it, and every person will tell you a different way in which it has impacted the world negatively. E.g. for me, how much Google (and silicon valley in general) have enabled twisted ideologies to flourish. All in search of ad-dollars by virtue of eyeballs on screens, at…
I'm seeing the trillions in additional productivity argument more often here, especially when trying to defend their monopolistic tendencies. What I've never seen are raw numbers backing this.

#785Earlier quoted context omitted.
At some point it seems like Google switch to ML-based search instead of index based search. You can search for very specific combinations of lyrics and scenes: "eyes on me pineapple bucket of water house of cards chess time loop" and you won't surface a link to the music video featuring all of those things ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlzgDVLtU6g ), you'll just get really generic results of the average of your q…
Has google completely stopped working for anyone else? I can still search things, i get results but, they're an ordered list of popular places the engine is directing me to. Some kind of filtering is occurring on nearly every search i make that's making the results feel entirely useless. Image search stopped working sometime ago and now it just runs an AI filter on whatever image you search for, tells you there's a m…
I see this argument in HN a lot, so I checked my search history (googled "search history") it seems I use it ~10-20 times a day, looked at individual searches e.g. last week, and except a few queries, I have found what I was looking at.
Yes it is hard to find some stuff in internet because it is filled with generated affiliate spam and walled gardens, Has Google stopped working for me? Nope It seems still alive and kicking.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#786Perplexity does that already and more! shrug
So no one else should do it, because it already exists?
Re: ChatGPT Search
#787Does anyone know if the search will be available through their api? seems like a unique offering that not even google has (to my knowledge at least)

> To paraphrase a recent conversation I had with a friend: "in the USA, can illegal immigrants vote?" has a single truthful answer ("no" obviously) Er, no, the meaning of the question is ambiguous, so I'm not sure "has a single truthful answer" is accurate. What does "can" mean? If you mean "permitted", then no. But if you mean can they vote anyway and get away with it? It's clearly happened before (as rare as it mig…
At the risk of derailing the conversation down a completely different rabbit hole... As I understand it, only citizens are legally entitled to vote, and voting requires a government-issued ID and the voter to be enrolled. How did they vote and get away with it previously? (also, as per another comment, if you know that this happened then surely they didn't get away with it?)
California passed a bill last month which banned requiring ID for voting, which stirred up the discussion that people without ID or to be more precise illegal immigrants could just vote.
I don’t know more details about it but theoretically this would also allow people to vote more than once.

#790Good thing I already took down my blog :) Hope everyone else does the same. Not putting any effort in to make OpenAI even more money, thanks
