Comment on Mozilla's Firefox adds Perplexity's AI answer engine as a new search option | TechCrunch

  I really don’t know enough about Perplexity AI to have an opinion one way or another, which is why I’m upvoting for awareness. I can’t say whether it’s a good or bad thing, although I’m not optimistic given the general trend of shoehorning “AI” in whether it makes sense or not, but I’m sure there are actually useful applications for the product and a better search engine could be one. I want actual search results, though, not a generated slop answer.

  Everyone already had the choice to use this before. You can visit any site with a search box, and add that site as a search engine to Firefox.

  This is forcing it down people’s throats.
