Yes. That would be good - I was trying to say that the serendipty often encountered in search in the past has been removed. you can never tell when that will actually lead you to a better result!

Is AI now part of these search engines, or has it been for a while, or is this something new, and is it automatic or some url to use the "AI" option?

Bing is now a lot more verbose. Before, you just had (poor) links. Now it shows snippets that even relate to what you queried.
The other tipoff is that instead of "123,000,000 results", it's now "a lot" less.

Well... theoretically we only need 1... the correct one

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

My google-fu is strong, but it's getting increasingly hard to find certain content that I know exists on the net because the filtering is politicized. Will AI make that better or worse? It all depends on what they are using to train it.

In the past I used the various operators to force inclusion, exclusions, exact phrases, etc. but they seemed to become overlooked or non-functioning. So I just search and scan, refine terms, ad nauseum.

That's the problem I had with google, I switch to duckduckgo to mostly avoid that.

Yes ... Some "countries" are slow to get their Chat AI going because it's not state-biased enough yet. There's no "AI" at work; just content and a hierarchical rating system.

1 with my smarty pants hat on - AI just more complex algorithm, which google has been expanding on for ages.
2 my cynic hat - it will only be a few weeks till the spam and Search Optimisers start figuring out means to rank higher. Plus with the higher complexity of ML (not AI) enhanced algorithms it might be more difficult for the owners to inject breakers or filters for removing individual and group trouble makers.
3 the spam and SEOs been making my search skills worse and worse each year.

It's a better dictionary ... depending on whose version you use.

I didn't think so. It is a common word.

Common word but the bit relating to "stinks" I have never heard and had to look up!
Will be tied up tomorrow so can't answer.

Like Rich, I'm pretty sure I got it (very quickly), but not available tomorrow (or for another week) so I'll pass.

A non-CCC question. Did I start the game early today? I just realized we just went on Daylight Savings Time here and I don't know if the UK goes in for that nonsense.

We change next Sunday.
