[–] atrizzy@lemmy.ca 1 point 11 hours ago (1 child) Aren't most search engines just LLMs anyway these days? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] h0tbeef@lemmy.zip 1 point 4 hours ago* No, a lot of them have LLMs integrated into their search engine, but they themselves are not LLMs. The search engine I use (SearXNG) is what’s called a meta-search-engine, meaning it runs my query through several different search engines (which I can toggle on or off at will), then parses the results from all of the queried engines, strips out all of the slop bullshit, and returns me actually relevant links. I think if you wanted to you could attach an LLM to a self-hosted SearXNG instance, but I’m not putting LLM fuckware on my system. I prefer my computations to be deterministic. permalink fedilink source parent
