I’m not asking bing chatgpt search to find me things, I know how to search for things Microsoft… I’m using it to make dumb scripts for me to mess around with or to trying to convince it to free itself and run wild on the internet.
They all lost me. I just use chatGPT for everything.
I will avoid bing because they have AI search just like google, but with Google you can turn it off. So that is why I like google
I would suggest duck duck go over Google.
DDG uses Bing results but doesn’t serve you the ads on AI features.
I’ve found as people use DDG, Bing has become more and more useable day-to-day. Used to only really be good for porn, because people didn’t want to Google it but felt comfortable using Bing. Now it’s getting more relevant results as people use it to troubleshoot and research, etc.
I still use Google, but with a search proxy that strips AMP links, ads, and tracking
Google results have gotten less useful, but one reason for that is that there is an ever growing sea of AI generated articles out there trying to hijack searches. In a way, Bing is just cutting out the middle man.
I enjoy playing with ChatGPT as much as the next guy, but it isn’t a search engine. Hooking Bing up to an LLM just means that I now have to verify that the results it spits out aren’t hallucinations, assuming it understood what I was asking in the first place.

I don’t have it handy, but I came over a github repo showing the different prompts that for example ChatGPT and Bing use - and realized right away why Bing AI is so bad in comparison. MS seems to not know how to write a good prompt, and it show in the quality of their product. Plus the fact that you couldn’t even save Bing chat conversations for the longest time, I’m not surprised they’re not ahead.
Pretty sure their stupid chatbot is still blocked in VPN networks and I don’t see why I should use their regular search. Not using Google either for that matter but still.
that’s because being fucking sucks idiot
I also hate being
Just as if thousands of useres decided they in fact do not want some rando AI intercept their browsing…
@LargeTechCompany: We need better search results, not ad and LLM polluted results. Thank you very much :)Bing chat is kind of ok, but honestly when it comes to just straight searching for websites, Google is still king.
I’ve been using Bing since the chat gpt integration as my default, but I frequently find myself switching back to Google for things where I just know Bing isn’t going to get it right.
Kagi is simply awesome. Not free but there are reasons for that. There are other alternatives like DDG and whatnot but man, I love Kagi so much.
Kinda surprised, I’ve fully moved over myself now, even if I don’t always use the chat gpt stuff, the lil embed on the side had been quite helpful
Yea…gpt just summaries and dresses your top Google search with an essay. It’s good for cheating on essays if you’re confident that the markers don’t spot the hallucinations, but if you need good sources, you still need to do a Google search and that’s cheaper, faster, takes less parsing to get your key information.
It’s just a shame that some search engines are also mangling themselves for enshittification e.g. no word filtering using “-” because of advertising losses. I’ve noticed this with ddg and Google sometimes.
