    Let me start highlighting excerpts of the “about” page:

    I have not accepted payments from LLM vendors, but I am frequently invited to preview new LLM products and features from organizations that include OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Mistral, often under NDA or subject to an embargo. This often also includes free API credits.

    One exception: OpenAI paid my for my time when I attended a GPT-5 preview at their office which was used in a video. They did not ask for any editorial insight or control over what I wrote after that event, aside from keeping to their embargo.

    Keep the author’s interests into account.


    With that out of the way: no, it is not good. Google might be smearing its model really hard on the users’ snouts, but it’s the wrong tool for the job.

    The main point of searching is to find information that is accurate and reliable; however, the way those models work they’ll output nonsense (mislabelled “hallucination”) fairly often. They’re also extremely noisy, usually assuming what the user “means”, instead of bloody addressing directly what the user is looking for.
