These Google Search Alternatives Actually Let You Control Your AI Experience

Image
It's no secret that Google, like most big tech companies, has gone all-in on AI. The company believes it is the future, and, as such, has injected the technology into every one of its products, none more visibly than Google Search. Over the past two years , Google has introduced AI summaries that seek to answer your questions, pulling the information from websites that fewer and fewer users are actually visiting and reading for themselves. Given this trend, it should hardly come as a surprise that during I/O 2026, Google announced " a new era for AI Search ." This "era" essentially marks an expansion of its investment in AI in Search: In addition to rolling out its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model to Search , Google is making it even easier to use its AI-generated results (or, perhaps, harder to avoid them). You can now expand an AI Overview to continue the conversation in AI Mode, and keep receiving answers without engaging with any primary sources yourself. Google...

Chatbots May Be Giving Out Your Phone Number

Image
When talking to a chatbot like ChatGPT, you should never assume your conversations are private . Many chatbots, by default, use your discussions to train the underlying AI models, but even if you opt out of training, or use a temporary chat, these conversations are often stored on company servers for some limited amount of time. The general rule of thumb is to avoid sharing anything with a chatbot that you wouldn't want to come out in public. (Proprietary company information, personal secrets, etc.) But what if the chatbot in question already has your private information? What if ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude is happy to share your phone number with anyone who asks for it?

In the piece, Guo reviews a series of claims from users who say that chatbots have been sharing personal information, like phone numbers, when requested. In some cases, the chatbots would share the i...
