In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam Engst from TidBITS talks about how traditional search engines like Google and Bing no longer provide valuable information because they surface unreliable content first.

He calls these tools "Answer Engines" when they're used to search the web rather than generate their own responses to your prompts.
