Is it better than bing or phind though? Why would I use it over bing?
It is smarter than the previous beta, but yes, it's still throws some wild pitches, and without sources. Still a work in progress.
I think LLMs still make up most of their answers, but use whatever links they find to generate context for the answers, so there is a lower possibility it'll generate confabulations. Of course, if the source is low-quality, it's just going to use that to justify a sloppy answer.
Still think it's better than me sorting through content farm posts. I look forward to next year's models that are trained on curated data sifting through well-sourced web sites.
*I like to add, "Only use educational or science journalism sources," to get higher quality links.
