Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don't respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes.

I'm not ready to pay for search, yet.

Is there any alternative?

I think they are referring to the search engines returning LLM content farm websites.

Maybe Iโ€™m a little out of the loop, what are llm content farm websites?

Low effort websites made easier by LLM generated text. Itโ€™s not new, just made easier with the ubiquity of LLM tools. Think of it as the latest generation of spam websites ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Ah I see. Junk โ€˜newsโ€™ and other regurgitated blah. Yeah, Iโ€™d guess any free search engine will probably be bloated with that. Not to mention that itโ€™s google, bing, and orange bing. Not a ton of crawlers out there indexing everything is there?
