European search engines Qwant and Ecosia said on Wednesday that they have both started serving search queries through an index they developed together, Staan, that aims to be a cheaper, more privacy-focused alternative to Google and Bing.
search has been using ai under the hood for many years, long before llms came along. that’s why google has had so much ai research, even back in like 2012. it’s one of the best ways to keep track of that much data.
like it or not the field is very useful, llms are just a rather stupid user-facing part.

Hey if they’re actually useful then that’s fine! The useful stuff hasn’t really been what the AI bros have been pushing in recent years.
no, that’s fair. we usually don’t see the useful stuff because it doesn’t need hype and just shows up as a data point.
And this is why Lemmy is better than Reddit. Not everything has to be a knife fight 😆
