1. AI's have their "personalities" and quirks for sure

I find the initial Google AI search not very in depth, and the dive deeper mode not a whole lot better. Much prefer perplexity, Claude, Chatgpt in that order. DuckDuckGo is ok, Venice is only worth general inquiries. Meta.ai I don't do much. I'm wary of these big tech companies archiving my queries which are sort of like my thoughts. GPT you can delete the chat, DDGo and Venice don't archive the chat or so I read. Perplexity gives a very short chat window (block of time or # of queries).

Is Goo relying on encyclopedias? It just spits facts, and incidentally denies anything I ask it. Not much thinking going on there imho.

In casual use, I like DuckDuckGo to get a general idea without giving google the hits Ursus Rex Nov 14 #3
