Instead of displaying links, Arc Search's “Browse for Me” feature reads the first handful of pages and summarizes them into a single, custom-built, Arc-formatted web page using large language models from OpenAI and others. Critics say that's a problem.
Thank you to Arc for reminding me how much I enjoy browsing the internet and its many unique pages — these soulless generated results are the opposite of what I want.
More and more of the Internet is being ai generated, so you’ll get to choose from a soulless summary or soulless SEO spam.
If I want to get them quick, I’d take them soulless and summarized.
