    I’m reading comments on arstechnica and seeing people mad at… what exactly?

    The reason I go to web search is to answer my questions. Now it’s given to me at once, without need to go anywhere. Is it sometimes hallucinating? Of course it is, but have you really 100% trusted information on the Internet before anyways? I haven’t.

    You say that ads driven websites are going to stop receiving money. But have you really liked ads driven websites? The same ones whose main incentive is to keep you on the website as long as possible or, in fact, wasting as much your time as possible to sell it to ad companies? The ones that were really worth visiting already changed their business model.

      At google scraping the internet, putting it in a blender then force-feeding us that goop while selling our eyeballs and data.

      Thank you, I really don’t understand all the complaints on this thread. It’s like everyone became really pro advertising lol. If I want an answer to a question(say what internal temp do I need to cook chicken too), then I can easily get it without scrolling through a bunch of ads and articles about cooking chicken.
