Not sure who is doing this exactly, if it’s DDG or Reddit or someone else. I was looking for a comparison of epic vs steam and noticed that the description of the search result is AI-generated, instead of actually showing anything from the thread.

A user asks why they should buy games on Steam rather than Epic, and gets various answers from other users. Some of the reasons include Steam’s features, performance, community, and exclusivity.

    The problem is when you’re searching up a problem, you typically want its whole context. If you need AI summarizarions, you would instead ask for it from your preferred AI, not search it.

      Absolutely nothing is stopping you from reading through for the full context. Y’all are just insufferable.

        There’s a reason why academic source citations recite which page are the citations from. Looking where exactly is the citation referenced from a first glance is a better experience than skimming through the whole source.

        Yes, clicking at the post could help with the context since it’s mostly not that long. But seeing what exactly it references based on your search query is considerably more helpful than seeing just its summary. As in the community’s name, it’s mildly infuriating.
