  "textContent": "Hiya,\n\nI’ve heard that Google appears to finally be fully integrating “AI” (machine learning) into their search engine.\n\nTechcrunch article\n\nDigiday media briefing\n\nArstechnica article\n\nI’ve already moved my email/drive/that stuff over to Proton last year, (at least, what I can. It’s really difficult to redirect decades of different websites being given the same email addresses. All my gmails redirect to my proton mail. I’ve totally left the Google ecosystem for things besides mail & search.)\n\nBut I’ve still been using Google search (-AI), because previously in my experience it just simply has more content than other search engines I’ve tried and I also really appreciate Google Scholar & the integration with Google Maps. Granted I haven’t tried another search engine in years.\n\nCan anyone make any recommendations of another search engine that actually respects privacy and isn’t using AI, but also actually has as wide of a range of results, features, and integrations as Google search?\n\nThanks in advance.",
