It's a hard one to gauge for me. I'm pretty sure I found it via stumbleupon back when that was really great. I read the whole thing in close to one go, and I never hear anyone else talk about it.

Im also a gun vegan, a car vegan, a facebook vegan, an exercise vegan (unfortunately), a windows vegan, ... just not actual vegan.

I feel like thats a bad way to use the word vegan.

LLMs definitely are full of crap. But that isn't the point of them (even if some corporations make it seem like it is)

They are supposed to be used for text generation. And you are supposed to read through everything afterwards to correct any hallucinations.

It can't work on its own, and make mistakes about 30% of the time.

But there are use cases where that isn't a problem. Use them as inspiration for creative writing prompts for example. They are crazy good at that.

I was trying to use it for a long time, but the results are never fine for me. The situation when I search for something specific, the duck shows me nothing, and the google shows me exactly what I need is far too often for me to completely switch.
Granted, I don't keep cookies, I use all the adblocks possible, and I disabled google's LLM bullshit, otherwise google is borderline unusable.

I use my boyfriends own browser.
Boyfriend, please explain it:

Soooo, it's called searXNG. It's a metasearch engine I host locally. It searches across multiple search engines, like duck duck go and others. And then shows the results as a normal webpage. It also changes your "fingerprint" per every search, and every search/result is proxied through the server.
If you wanna try it out, you can use (public instance): searx.bndkt.io
But you can easily host it locally from the source or with docker.

Have you tried Ecosia?

!g to pipe to Google if you must, I rarely need to.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. What a major blow to the Guardian's credibility

It was short lived. It is often called the Grauniad because of poor quality typos etc. historically.

Got a source for the Guardian no longer using AGI? Given a 'desperately trying to convince people that AI is cool' title like this, discontinued use seems highly unlikely
