The latest AI-powered martech news and releases

Have you tried getting rid of AI Overview in Chrome? I have, and while Google says it can be done, I can’t. 

My problem with it is simple: I keep getting wrong answers. Recently, it said my zip code was in a different state. I don’t know much about LLMs, but it takes work to get that wrong. 

I tried Bing (don’t mock me; I was desperate), only to find that it is also AI-Overviewed—likewise, DuckDuckGo and Brave. So, I searched for search and found more options than I expected.

AOL and Yahoo!, the OG searchers, were blessedly free. Warning: AOL is overrun by advertising. Of course.

There are also a bunch of newer sites: Startpage, Qwant, Swisscows (love the name), and Presearch. SearX doesn’t have AI, but the results are in Chinese, one of many languages I don’t speak. 

Will other people get tired of wrong answers? Maybe. Until then, I’m a trend of one.

Here are this week’s AI-powered releases and related news:
