Ask HN: Why) are you using AI to browse the web?

2•ATechGuy•1h ago
[Posting again in hopes of gaining further perspectives and insights]

Do you still browse the web the same way you did (say 5 years ago) or you use AI to browse, summarize, etc. on websites? Is it about speed/efficiency, instant answers (gratification), or something else?

I've noticed I'm less willing to read long articles now that I can get instant summaries. I'm curious to understand if AI is saving us time or is it training us to avoid effort.

I definitely use the "AI Mode" a lot in Google Search in preference to the old search interface.

It seems the relentless pursuit of greater profit has diluted "the old search interface" toward simply regurgitating adverts.

Customers realize this, even if subconsciously, and so the new "AI Modes" offered by search companies are required to stay relevant.

It's the process of creative destruction at work... round and round we go.
