Brilliant as usual, Ted. May I draw your attention to an alternative search engine called Yep which does three things:

1. Stores your search history on your own phone to protect privacy,

2. Uses AI to provide an answer to your question but does so transparently citing sources and with a disclaimer that its synthesis can only ever be as good as those sources,

3. Promises to funnel 90% of its ad revenue back to content creators.

It's serviceable enough. It has some appealing randomness that reminds me of late 1990s Yahoo. One can install the app from the Playstore and I suggest that everyone who cares about repairing our broken tech and societal model gives it a go.
