    I have kind of just been using ChatGPT 4o as my search engine, it’s been working pretty well.

      Same (in some situations). I feel like searching for “how to do X?”, where X is a simple problem or knowledge, more often than not the classic search results are linking to articles that are way too long and talk around the solution way too much before actually getting to it (if at all).

      Sure, I don’t trust the AI responses for critical stuff, but I honestly rarely trust a random blog article either.

      I used perplexity pretty exclusively for a while. Especially for work. Both have their place and use cases but when I’m looking for something truly specific or nuanced, it’s DDG and a manual search.
