New Arc Search App Aims to Combine AI and Web Browsing But Faces Credibility Challenges
-
Arc Search is a new app that combines a web browser, search engine, and AI chatbot into one. It aims to provide customized search results and information summaries.
-
The Arc browser previously focused on letting users customize the look and feel of websites they visit. Arc Search takes it further by summarizing content from multiple sites.
-
Arc Search returns an information summary when you search, instead of just links. It scans multiple sites to build this.
-
However, the AI-powered summaries currently mix reliable and incorrect information without clear attribution. They also don't link to the original pages scanned.
-
Arc Search represents a vision of integrated, intelligent search, but still has major limitations compared to standard search engines. Its development progress will be noteworthy.
