Sorry, I like answers without having to deal with crappy writing, bullshit comments, and looking at ads on pages.

As long as you don’t ask it for opinion based things, ChatGPT can search online dozens of sites at the same time, aggregate all of it, and provide source links in a single prompt.

People just don’t know how to use AI properly.

Shit’s confidently wrong way too often. You wouldn’t even realize the bullshit as you read it.

The ironic part is that it’s not bad as an index. Ignore the garbage generative output and go straight to cited sources and somehow get more useful links than an actual search engine.

Oh, you don’t know what searxng is.

Ok, then. That’s all you had to say.

Getting a url is half the problem. I pretty much don’t ever want to browse the web again.
