OpenAI also confirmed it plans to integrate SearchGPT into ChatGPT down the line.

I don’t understand. Isn’t CGPT already just a fancy search engine?

grandma ,

It is but its not updated in real-time unlike searchgpt

belated_frog_pants ,

No, its fancy autocomplete at a huge scale. Sometimes it returns correct answers.

A search engine should be taking a list of websites and metadata about those websites and returning results based on some ranking with the original desire being to get you what you wanted. (The current desire is just how much money can be extracted from your hands on the keys)

No. ChatGPT pulls information out of its ass and how I read it SearchGPT actually links to sources (while also summarizing it and pulling information out of it’s ass, presumably). ChatGPT “knows” things and SearchGPT should actually look stuff up and present it to you.

Kagi supports this since a while. You can end your query with a question mark to request a “quick answer” generated using an llm, complete with sources and citations. It’s surprisingly accurate and useful!

I have kind of just been using ChatGPT 4o as my search engine, it’s been working pretty well.

I wonder what the energy/environmental impact is vs a traditional search.

MotoAsh ,

Completely terrible. An AI “search” takes as much electricity as hundreds to thousands of normal searches.

'AI" is TERRIBLE for climate change because they’re increasing demand for electricity so much that they’re keeping coal plants going that were even scheduled for decomissioning because they use A LOT of power.

I’ve been trying to find a search engine that doesn’t use AI for this very reason, but with little luck. Any suggestions?

MotoAsh ,

Doesn’t DuckDuckGo not have AI?

Not to my understanding?

narc0tic_bird ,

Same (in some situations). I feel like searching for “how to do X?”, where X is a simple problem or knowledge, more often than not the classic search results are linking to articles that are way too long and talk around the solution way too much before actually getting to it (if at all).

Sure, I don’t trust the AI responses for critical stuff, but I honestly rarely trust a random blog article either.

I used perplexity pretty exclusively for a while. Especially for work. Both have their place and use cases but when I’m looking for something truly specific or nuanced, it’s DDG and a manual search.

I mean it works ok for things that aren’t important. But you never really can have too much faith in the results because it will state blatantly incorrect answers with great certainty.

At least Perplexity links to the sources

@schizoidman I can't wait to use the energy requirements of a small country to search for shoes and convert from kg to lbs!

pedz ,

I hope it’s using a shit load of energy, like other “AI” stuff. Because we’re absolutely not in a climate crisis where reducing consumption is necessary. More “AI” that consumes more power, that’s exactly what we need.

GPT: Because nobody in their right mind would waste nukes destroying the Internet.

Only a matter of time until someone genuinely puts glue on their pizza

If someone missed that: it returned a wrong answer even in the demo video.

Oh cool! A search engine that’ll give you fake URL’s!
