They've been offering this as a free database download for a while. Looks like what's new is offering it as a free API too. But the database download is more efficient, more reliable, and doesn't require providing IPs to a th

It baffles me how the LLM output that Google puts at the top of search results, which draws on the search results, manages to hallucinate worse than even an LLM that isn't aided by Web results. If I ask ChatGPT a relatively straightfor
