I agree. Google will win the search war. OpenAI is a wrapper around search engines as they don't have their own index. www.reddit.com/r/AISearchLa... Even ChatGPT search uses Google index indirectly using Serpapi which scrapes google

Im traditional, I prefer my tools to be specialised eg I prefer a AI tool to be focused only on search and not offer a bunch of feature to do data analysis, do ai writing etc. That said with the rise of "agents", we going to get more of such all in one capabilities in "research assistants" (1)

I spoke to the person who AI-generated the Chicago Sun-Times reading list. Says he's very embarrassed. This was part of a generic package inserted into newspapers and other publications, so likely to run elsewhere. He didn't know it'd be in Chicago Sun-Times

I always see librarians saying oh we need to consider algo bias when using "AI" + search (actually any search really) for the past X years. But it always stops there. I rarely see concrete ideas on how to study this or how to deal with this. And no, "dont use" isn't a solution.
