Google rolled out AI overviews across the United States this month, exposing its flagship product to the hallucinations of large language models.

    Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination

    And Bing search is not bad at all. CoPilot is firmly mediocre though

      Bing search is still terrible. I frequently paste the same exact term from Bing to Google, and Bing won’t have a relevant return for pages, whereas Google still gets it in the first 3 links. I have Bing as my default on my work PC so I get to run this comparison frequently. I genuinely am curious how people think Bing returns better results than Google. It’s a night and day difference.

      Copilot is no worse than chatGPT which is the current standard.

        Where Google absolutely fails for me now is if I ever want information about a product beyond where to purchase it, especially if I want a review. I have to go through pages and pages of shopping links before I can hope to get relevant information, if I ever do.
