If i have a question i want an answer not a bunch of links where i might find the answer to my question if i read all the pages and try to connect the dots. So yes, i want all of it.
This is honestly kinda scary to read. You want an intransparent software that can by definition not think to try and check what facts are correct instead of doing it yourself? And that's if we're assuming there's no intentional fact skewing in the software.
It is certainly the most convenient interface, and that's what makes it enticing.
I don't think I'll ever trust one source enough to use it like that, though.
So you also never use google for instance or do you first compare the results of google, DuckDuckGo, ecosia,… before actually open a page? Interesting, i wonder how long it takes before you find something on the web.
Where did i say i want intransparent software that can by definition not think to try and check what facts are correct instead of doing it yourself?
Thats unfortunately the only way to get what you say you want. Unless you're paying a human to do the web searching for you.
I think its fine as long its not forced on users that don't want it
There are always options 🤷🏼
