AI generated search is a huge improvement over what we had before. Before, when you searched a question or topic that doesn't have a Wikipedia page or easy answer, you get a ton of SEO spam. Stack Overflow is still a great resource for programming, but for most general knowledge, AI generated is so much more useful.
I've been using Brave Search and the AI summarizer is pretty good, and I get to avoid loading shitty websites. For specific questions that aren't easy for search engines to answer, I really like how ChatGPT is conversational and lets you ask followup questions. Another thing I've been using is perplexity.ai, it can actually search the internet and cite sources.
Overall, AI has been a big help to me, and lets me avoid going to other websites which are usually just awful now. Most websites are full of ads, trackers, cookie notices, "Checking your connection", I'm done with dealing with that. Search engines are there when I forget the domain for a service or link to a GitHub project.
