“Generative web search refers to the use of generative AI systems for conducting web searches. These systems are designed to generate search results and responses based on user queries. They can utilize various models and algorithms to generate the search results. Funding for the development and operation of generative web search systems can come from different sources, including individual ownership, usage fees, public funding, philanthropic gifting, crowdsourced models, routing funding through other tools, and advertising-based models.
There are ongoing efforts to improve generative web search and evaluate its effectiveness. Evaluation of generative search can involve comparing different platforms or tools, analyzing the generated text and links, assessing speed and user interface features, and benchmarking the democratization of good search. Various organizations and developers are exploring ways to make web search better and promote alternative models of search, leveraging large language models and disruptive energy in the field.’s worth noting that the information provided is based on the given data and sources available up to 14/12/2023.”
