Just for calibration, what are the other things you’ve tried? I’ve tried alternative search engines like https://millionshort.com, link aggregators/curators like reddit/slashdot/hackernews/etc, manually curated lists.
(I’ve been playing around with it for a bit and it seems quite good to me too)
in my workflow, the ranking had been, in order of what I try first to answer a question, text-davinci-2, ddg, kagi, google, millionshort, teclis, with a diversion to youtube if I needed a visual explanation of something. I’d go straight for ddg or google if trying to get a specific result, and that hasn’t changed with introduction of metaphor.systems. text-davinci-3 pushes further up the list; I’m more likely to ask it a question now, but not massively so. meanwhile, metaphor near entirely replaced kagi and teclis and also usually google, I’m back to google for exact-result queries except when google refuses to give multiple word sense interpretations in which case I open ddg, and sometimes I ask text-davinci-3 for help figuring out what I’m looking for. I usually use metaphor first. I have it set as my default search. the different query format it needs sometimes takes multiple tries, but once I find a good search, I get incredible results I’ve never seen another tool match, not even text-davinci-3 or chatgpt.
chatgpt didn’t enter my workflow. the rlhf flavor it has makes it too hard to use and it gives overly verbose responses.
