Comment on Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?

Not really. I could use some good selfhosted search engine. I mean all the existing projects (which is just YaCy, to my knowledge) are a bit dated. Nowadays we only got metasearch engines and we're relying on Google, Bing etc.

But I don't need any chatbot enhancements. That's usually something I skip when using Google or Bing because it doesn't work well. The AI summaries tend to be wrong, and it's bad at looking up niche information, which is something I need a search engine to be able to find. The AI just cites the most common slop, or at best the Wikipedia article. But I don't really need any fancy software to get there... So for me, we don't need any AI augmentation.
