Ask HN: Which LLM-powered search do you use daily?
There is a plethora of LLM-powered search, from perplexity, phind, copilot, meta.ai and more. Which ones do you use on a daily basis?

- vouaobrasil 2y agoNone. Using AI search is a mistake and we should not support the further anonymization of sharing into an LLM.
- bpiche 2y agoNone, I use search engines with booleans when I want to find something. LLMs might provide useful citations at the end of a 'search' but there's too much hallucination in the summaries in my personal experience
- swatcoder 2y agoNone. My web use is basically: tracking down a technical reference that is almost always at the vendor's website or github repo; looking up an idle curiosity on imdb or wikipedia; searching reddit for a specific discussion topic with multiple perspectives, or lingering around here on HN to kill time. I barely even use a search engine, and when I do it's usually tagged with "wiki", "reddit", "github", "imdb" etc because I know the source I want to explore and know how to interpret that source when presented to me in its familiar format. For deeper understandings of things, I collect and read books about them or use something like JSTOR for narrower or fresher interpretations and perspectives. LLM-powered searches just put an obscuring layer between me and the specific, attributed, source information that I find valuable.
