The phind.com thing is an improvement. The same goes for perplexity.ai.
However, for the few queries I made, there are still all sorts of issues involved, such as how the reliability of the sources are determined. For instance, I asked phind.com to give some information with references to arXiv, and it concluded that arxiv-vanity.com was the proper source ("rigorous about the sources" indeed...). Then I tried a few queries about jurisprudence and without hesitation it went to reference questionable commercial sites instead of the primary sources. Furthermore, it seems that phind.com is quilty of 1:1 plagiarism in many cases.

Edit: Also phind.com does better with coding docs. I think it is focused on code so asking is questions outside of that domain is kinda unfair.
- jruohonen 4y agoI read it. And as I wrote, things are improving so it seems some things discussed are taken into account. But regarding the general criticism of many bystanders, including journalists, it seems that the industry throughout the world is ruthlessly rushing half-baked things prematurely due to the usual hype/VC/first-mover/monetization/etc. reasons without any considerations of the implications.
