        • Your Browsing Will Change Forever Whether You Like It Or Not

          AI summaries are OK most of the time, and it's annoying when they're just flat out wrong, but whether you think they're the best thing ever, hate them with a passion, or somewhere in between, they're going to change how we browse forever. Search companies are making sure of that.

          More worrisome, what happens to ads (for the people that don't block them, of course) and what about browsing statistics when folks just skim the summary and move on?

          Neither of us are very fond of AI, but we still need to stay on top of all of this which means we need to at least test things out. So, which is the better AI searcher?
