With search engines changing your query to generate, wall to wall advertising links.

Ai for search now many Ai's can access web, is becoming a thing ?
Key point being links to confirm that data is not hallucination or something outdated from years ago.

I saw this pop up on Youtube, with possibly the Ai generated hook title :-) Everyone?

Its about perplexity that you can easily setup as you search engine in your browser.

Apparently rumors about Apple may be hitting Google etc share price ?

Is everyone trying to cut through crap with DuckDuckGo , or something else more usual as a search , or.
Has Ai found the right bait with presently advertising free and more query relevant searches ?

Google pays Apple $20B a year to be the default search engine on iOS. There's a reason Siri is still useless.

I get rid of the junk immediately after installing any OS and instead stick in the ‘unsmart’ ‘startpage.com’ as a search engine that doesn't use AI.

- NET: FTTH, OPNsense, 10G backbone, GWN APs, ipPBX
- SRV: 12 RU HA server cluster, 0.1 PB storage on premise
- IoT: thread, zigbee, tasmota, BidCoS, LoRa, WX suite, IR
- 3D: two 3D printers, 3D scanner, CNC router, laser cutter

I use duckduckgo myself for my default search engine. Work laptop defaulted to Bing a while ago after a fresh install of Windows and was surprised at how bad the Bing AI is. Searched for public holidays and the dates Bing AI came up with was a work of fiction. Have since switched that back to duckduckgo.

Siri now usually asks if you want to use Chat GPT when asking questions, and will read Chat GPT results. So things are improving. But IMO by default it should use Chat GPT and not ask, as that is another step.

I find Google search is now essentially Gemini when you ask questions. It doesn't seem so bad but Chat GPT seems a lot better.
