Lesser-Known Search Engines That Are Worth Checking Out

True AI likely wouldn't be able to deduce context much better from the words given (i.e. a clear 'this' or 'that' situation, like Hamilton the musical or Hamilton the individual). It's just impossible to tell sometimes, and would require user effort to specify. Maybe the value in the AI could be sorting results into the 'this' category or 'that' category, making perfect results just one step away for the user?

Also, I've heard that the issue with AI in some specific domains is substantially slower responses than traditional / non-AI. Would this / how would this be reflected in a search engine? Would query results be updated less often?

True AI would perhaps know the user well enough to know their intent (even Google already knows the user and perhaps even know they have a likelihood for a person being more interested in musicals or in maths).

It could also actually understand web sites and create meaningful summaries. And all sorts of other things.

As for speed, I don't know - it seems in many applications AI is way faster than traditional approaches. Also things can be parallelized. DeepMind trained for many years (measured in computing time), but it was parallelized so it didn't actually take years to train.
