IMHO it's a great summarizing search engine. I now don't have to click on a link to go to that original source - Gemini just hands me a useful summary. Ask AI to do something specific that requires GI (General Intelligence) your milage may vary. So as OpenAI and Google suck in all your content (creators) you are going to find yourself derive less and less revenue generated by visits to your site. Just sayin.

Gemini routinely inaccurately reports the contents in the summary. I have found it actually reversing things on a regular basis. The summary says no and the source says yes.
DuckDuckGo, which uses Bing I think, now has Bing's AI summaries instead of the goddamn content in search results, which makes evaluating the search results at a glance useless!
For what it's worth, we produce our own summaries, and you can turn them off if you don't like them. We also offer noai.duckduckgo.com, which turns all of our AI features off automatically.
