Bing Chat is rough, but it’s the future. You ask it a question - it uses a modified ChatGPT to generate an answer and cites its sources.
About 60% of the time, it’s right. About 40% of the time it’s wrong. But either way, it cites its sources using links that it found during that search. You can click those sources and see responses from humans, who generally have the correct answer.
I rarely use Google now. Bing Chat is always my first stop for any kind of question or general knowledge query. Give it 5 years - 10 at most - and that’ll be the only way to use a search engine. The tech isn’t going anywhere, and it’s only getting better.
This is almost a worst case scenario to me. There was a time when I could search the internet and find long form articles written by experts in the field, or at least by knowledgeable people answering the question that I had and often giving me a deep dive. These days I can search the title of an article I know exists and it will still be buried beneath pages of SEO driven AI generated garbage. I get the feeling that many of these sites and writers shut down simply because there was no reason to generate content that would be buried.
Hot take: The old way of searching is outdated.
