One word of caution with AI searxh is that it's weirdly vulnerable to SEO.
If you search for "best X for Y" and a company has an article on their blog about how their product solves a problem the AI can definitely summarize that into a "users don't like that foolib because of ...". At least that's been my experience looking for software vendors.
Oh sure, caution is always warranted w/ LLMs. But when it works, it can save a ton of time.
Definitely, I'm just trying to share a foot gun I've accidentally triggered myself!
