Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.
I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?
Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?
How do you mean, curate answers more directly? I haven’t really looked at bing recently.
So with Bing chat, which is more or less ChatGPT (just a model made specifically for Microsoft), it has the ability to crawl the web and get information into one place. So if you ask for reviews of a product, it’s able to curate them and give summaries so you can get an overviews. Granted, it’s still in super early beta and will sometimes give bad information, but a bit of fact checking is doable. I’ve played around with it for a bit and it’s fascinating. It works pretty well too but it’s not always right since it’s an AI attempting to learn. Hopefully that all makes sense 😅
