Comment on Ask HN: What are the viable alternatives to DuckDuckGo?parent

Yeah, but because it's an LLM it makes very good guesses. It's not so random, it's seen URLs in training data.

One of the points of the experiment was to see how much of a shortcut using an LLM could give me, as the developer.

I've done other LLM search experiments where I basically just prompt to "predict 25 search results for this query" and it's surprisingly good. You can also run a check to verify the URLs to splice hallucinations out of the result, but yeah, LLM is already doing a lot of the work for search.
