I have yet to open an AI platform for a question, to play or to examine.

Though, my understanding is if I ask a detailed question in a standard browser prompt the question is answered by some sort of AI entity. Aren’t search and AI responses becoming the same thing?

I doubt you have ever opened an AI platform.

yes and no. it is kind of a hybrid thing right now.

a detailed ai response costs more money and electricity than a list of links, but the large language models also have a canned response for very commonly answered questions which basically costs nothing to regurgitate.

then it will give you an option for a more detailed response which is often wrong because it looks at a bunch of websites and tells you what most people think about something similar to what you are asking, there are somethings a regular search engine is better for however if it is a linux or windows related question I have found the LLMs very helpful, but that is about it.
