I’ve had the opposite experience. While at times it’s just wrong, it’s usually been pretty right even when I loosely phrase my request and ask it things Kagi or other IR systems wouldn’t be able to grok into meaningful results. Often it’s responses are also direct and succinct (even with all its boilerplate blah blah) and faster to process than clicking through 50 blogs and navigating SEO garbage, or distilling documentation to find the specific answer I need from it. Where it is insufficient it provides enough context and relevant search terms to construct a better IR query on a search engine. I have definitely had it get stuff just flat out wrong, but it’s easy enough to pick it out and I degenerate to old practice of searching and filtering in those cases. As has been posted about here many times in different ways, as they graft IR and reasoning systems onto chatgpt I expect these problems to disappear. I find it amazing how dismissive folks are of a tech that is barely a few months old. It’s like a whole generation of nerds have lost the capacity to dream.
