Search engines are also designed and maintained by humans. They absolutely can filter the results to fit the agenda of creators. There were many examples of that with the Google vs China situation.

There isn't some great fairness ethos guiding the works of search engine creators. They can manipulate the results just as much as AI creators.

It's more about the theoretical side of it. Because fundamentally a search engine can provide contradictory and self-excluding answers as is naturally gathered from people while AI will reduce that to a single yes or no. And that's the actual problem.

Oh no. You have to search for particular keywords or phrases, even just in your mind, to find the search results you want to find. With an AI like chatgpt, you can stop lying to yourself and find what you want, by prompting what you want to see. After all, knowledge is purely what you want to believe, not what everyone HAS to believe.
