    In Defence of AI web search from my experiences:

    When I have no idea what I am talking about, have no or incorrect terminology, I have found Copilot and GPT4 (separate not the all-in-one) to be game changing compared to flat Google.

    I’m not using the data straight off the query result, but the links to the data that was provided in the result.

    And embarrassingly, when I’m drunk and babbling into a microphone, Copilot finds the links to what I am looking for.

    Now if you are just straight using the results and not researching the answers your mileage will vary.

      Is that enough to mitigate how much worse bare Google is than it was ten years ago, back when they were winning against SEO bots? In my experience, it hasn’t been, but I’ve not done enough AI-aided web searches to have a good sample size.
