I’ve got bad news for you if you use ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini as your main search tool - AI web search isn't worth your time, yet

"We all know AI tools can do a lot these days. But how good are they at
searching the internet?

It’s a big question, and it matters. Because according to Future’s own research
(Future publishes TechRadar), almost a third of US respondents said they now
use AI instead of traditional search engines, like Google.

Some turn to ChatGPT and other chatbots. Others use AI tools built specifically
for searching and researching, like Perplexity. And even if we’re not actively
choosing AI tools, AI is showing up in our searches anyway, like those little
Google summaries that now pop up at the top of your results.

In short, AI-powered search is everywhere. But here’s the real question: is it
actually any good? That’s what researchers are starting to ask, and let’s just
say, the early reviews aren’t glowing."
