    Bing is the anti-AI search engine you should be using

    PCWorld argues that Bing is a better choice than AI-heavy search engines because it surfaces human-authored content and links to original sources, while keeping Microsoft Copilot as an optional button rather than forcing AI summaries to the top of results. The article says AI search engines like Google's AI Mode can hide sources and produce misleading information, citing a ChatGPT example, and notes that Google's AI results can be partly avoided with tricks like adding "-ai" or "udm=14" to a query or switching Chrome's default search engine to Bing.

    Discourse (forums) sees itself well positioned for the AI search era (vs Reddit)

    Discourse argues that Reddit's move toward a logged-in experience, driven by scraping concerns, falling search referrals and ad targeting, reflects an ad-based business model that its own forum customers don't share. It contends that for support forums and knowledge communities, an AI answer that resolves a user's problem without a click can still be a win, provided sources stay attributed and live links let people reach the full thread. Discourse says community operators, not a central platform, should control data boundaries, and that openness to AI retrieval is distinct from allowing bulk pre-training scrapes.

    Google Summaries Aren't About AI, They're About Lock-In

    This EFF piece argues that Google's AI summaries, like its earlier knowledge panels and AMP, are less about answering queries well than about keeping users and their data inside Google's ecosystem, where more time on the page means more ad exposure. It notes the irony that AI mode has produced "lower monetization" via ads, and urges readers to remember that Google's monetary incentives, not the technology, drive these features.
