The rise of AI-powered search engines has significantly changed how we retrieve information, but it has also introduced new challenges. Paul Stamatiou shares his vision for the future:
- Traditional search engines weren’t perfect, but at least you were in control.
- AI-generated instant answers provide convenience but sacrifice the ‘beautiful chaos’ that once made the internet so captivating. However, this experience may be on the verge of transformation.
- Finding truly valuable information isn’t easy. It doesn’t happen in a single search or through a single tool—it often comes from a passing comment in a blog or video. But when you do find the answer, that moment of discovery is worth it.
- Serendipitous discovery was not just a byproduct of the early internet—it expanded our empathy by exposing us to diverse voices, helping us break out of echo chambers and keeping the web dynamic instead of monotonous.
- The real problem now lies in weakened source attribution, opaque algorithmic decisions, and generic, one-size-fits-all responses. These issues flatten the internet rather than enriching it.
- Users must have transparent control over how AI understands and adjusts information so they can recognize, reinforce, or correct biases in the process.
- Connecting knowledge points: Helping users link new concepts to what they’ve previously read, forming a more complete understanding.
- Identifying and breaking echo chambers: Introducing fresh perspectives to encourage users to step outside their information bubbles and engage with diverse viewpoints.
- Leveraging trusted sources: Allowing users to learn from familiar resources while balancing their exposure to new ideas.
- Anticipating needs: Proactively offering relevant content before users even ask, assisting them in completing their tasks.
- By incorporating more personalization, these companies can not only strengthen their competitive advantage and provide more impactful, tailored answers but also embrace and amplify the internet’s unique voices and diversity.
- The magic of web exploration hasn’t disappeared—it’s just waiting to be reinvented.

当下基于 AI 的搜索引擎的确大大改变了我们的日常检索，但也带来了一些新问题。就此，Paul Stamatiou 给出了他的畅想：
- 过去使用传统搜索引擎的体验并不算完美，但至少你是掌控者。
- 现在的 AI 即时答案虽然提供了便利，却牺牲了曾让互联网充满吸引力的“美丽混乱”。不过，这种体验或许正在迎来新的变革。
- 发现真正有价值的信息并不容易。它不会在一次搜索中就完成，也不会通过单一工具获取，而是来自偶然看到的博客视频中某个人的一句话。但当你找到答案时，那一刻的收获是值得的。
- 网络浏览中的偶然发现不仅仅是互联网发展初期的副产品，它通过呈现不同的声音拓宽了我们的同理心，帮助我们跳出信息茧房，让网络保持多样性而非单调重复。
- 目前的真正问题在于——弱化的来源标注、不透明的算法决策，以及千篇一律的回答。这些问题让互联网变得更加扁平化，而不是更丰富。
- 让用户能够透明地控制 AI 如何理解和调整信息至关重要，这样他们才能在使用过程中识别、强化或纠正偏见。
- 连接知识点：帮助用户将新概念与之前阅读过的内容联系起来，形成更完整的知识框架。
- 识别并打破信息茧房：提供新颖的观点，让用户跳出单一视角，接触更多元的信息。
- 利用可信来源：帮助用户从自己熟悉的网络资源中学习，同时平衡他们对新视角的需求。
- 预见需求：在用户提出问题之前，主动提供他们可能正在寻找的内容，并协助完成任务。
- 通过在产品中加入更多个性化元素，这些公司不仅能增强自身的护城河，提供更有影响力、更贴合需求的答案，还能拥抱并凸显互联网的独特声音和多元视角。
- 浏览互联网的魔力并没有完全消失，但它正等待着被重新发明。
