I use the “web search” bot on Poe.com for general questions these days, that I previously would have typed into Google (Google’s AI results are sometimes helpful though). It is better than GPT (haven’t tried TFA yet though), because it actually cites websites that it gets answers from, so you can have those and also verify that you aren’t getting a hallucination. Besides Poe's Web Search, the other search engine I use, for news but also for points of view, deep dive type blog type content, is Twitter. Believe it or not. Google search is so compromised today with the censorship (of all kinds, not just the politically motivated), not to mention Twitter is just more timely, that you miss HUGE parts of the internet - and the world - if you rely on Google for your news or these other things. The only time I prefer google is when I need to find a pointer/link I already know exists or should exist, or to search reddit or HN.
