Using generative AI for search
Recently, I’ve shifted from using DuckDuckGo to consulting AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini for information, especially on technical topics well-covered in training datasets.

https://the-decoder.com/google-gemini-pro-falls-behind-free-chatgpt-says-study/ “The Gemini Pro model, which is comparable to GPT 3.5 Turbo in model size and class, generally achieves accuracy that is comparable but somewhat inferior to GPT 3.5 Turbo, and much worse than GPT 4.” More evidence that I need to treat product demos with more scepticism.
