This is a very low-information announcement here but if this is taken to the extreme, it means that DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and many other so-called “alternative” search engines are going to either have to look for a new provider of results, or die.

    people who use LLMs as search engine make me go 😨

    my colleagues are doing it too, and I just want to yell at them that LLMs have no idea about reality, they will confidently tell you to eat glue

      If you tell the o3 reasoning model to just search the web and give you the top results instead of answering your query it can actually be really useful for obscure queries. I was able to find specific spec sheets for my model of monitor when a google search would only produce the specs for basically any other model the manufacturer made. Even with the model number in quotes

        At the end of the day, it’s still an agent searching the web like a person, and its results are only good if search is decent.
