      Yeah I’m pretty much exclusively on DuckDuckGo these days, which is partially based on Bing but with a lot more privacy, and never really have any trouble.

      or it’s forum results from 2010. Nevermind I’ve explicitly asked for 2022, 23.

      I wish I could do the opposite. Sometimes there’s a new article about something and I want to search its history or find an article about it from a year ago to see what people were saying then. It’s all but impossible to find anything that isn’t trending. I know the info is there but no search engine I’ve used allows me to see it.

      When you mean using GPT, you mean you pull that drop-down from the top and talk to the AI? How do you know the info you are getting is accurate? AI has had a terrible track record of just regurgitating popular posts or making things up and AI can mask where the info came from, lending it an air of authority to what might be forum speculation.
