I wouldn’t personally use chatGPT ,or any language model for that matter, if factual information is the goal.
DDG has been my go-to recently, but mostly because I’m jaded with current year data harvesting and such. The internet feels like such a hassle these days .-.
@natebluehooves@dl007, to find what I search I use mostly these search engines with AI without BigBrother company spyware, is in these where AI is usefull because “de-hazzle” the internet with direct answers based on reliable resources, ChatGPT can’t do this, it has a knowledge base from 2021 and can’t give reliable and up-to-date answers because of this.
@Lobstronomosity, yes, Andisearch isn’t (yet) so good for images (it’s still in heavy developement), but normally it give very reliable answers, even accept commands and !Bangs (see help), similar to DDG, it has a reader mode and you can play YT videos in the search result. It’s from a two person startup, Google and tracking haters. Nice and usercentred people.
@Lobstronomosity, I think so. I’m in communication with them (Angie Hoover and Jed White) on Discord where they are quite active discussing progress, news, bugs, user feedback and suggestions that they take quite seriously. I think that small startups, as well as the one here at Mastodon present @Mojeek search, who want to offer a good alternative to these big corporations, deserve user support.
None of the search engines is perfect, all of them have pros and flaws, because of this, if you need a deeper research it is inevitable to have several on hand.
@Icarus, there are currently more than 1.500 AI services and apps out there. If you are interest in this theme you can take a look here, it’s a complete list of all of them, daily updated.
@Icarus, there are a lot of image AI, but my favorite is Skybox AI. Its to create 360º skyboxes for games or similar (text2image), not to create persons. But you can download the results in JPG in HD, great for stunning wallpapers or backgrounds. It’s (still) free (beta) without account and the among of images you want. https://skybox.blockadelabs.com

https://you.com (free account to use it)
These are great links. I don’t think they are stand in replacements for Google though.
Andisearch is nice but I found it a bit limiting, for example it would decide whether or not it would allow me to search for images.
Perplexity looks good but I haven’t had a proper play with it yet.

As with all new ventures with good intentions, I hope they succeed.

perplexity is the best for code, it still hallucinates but way less than chatgpt.
@Icarus, special for codes is Phind, a AI search engine for devs
