It turns out there's huge demand for un-monetized web search.

I like that it's unmonetized, of course, but that's not why I use AI. I use AI because it's better at search. When I can't remember the right keywords to find something, or when the keywords aren't unique, I frequently find that web search doesn't return what I need and AI does.

It's impressive how often AI returns the right answer to vague questions. (not always though)

  • Google used to return the right answer to vague questions until it decided to return the most lucrative answer to vague questions instead.

    • Fortunately there is a lot of competition in the LLM space.

      Edit: and, more importantly, plenty of people willing to pay a subscription for good quality.

Soon sadly, there will be a huge demand for un-monetized LLMs. Enshitification is coming.
