What is the difference between an AI search and a search engine one? You are giving it the same information?
You can use privacy focused ones, or open a container/incognito window, use a different network, etc... there are many ways to obfuscate and prevent tracking. With all the AI apps they generally require a sign-in. And it's AI, it's able to easily glob together everything you discuss with it to build a profile on you. Have you tried it? Mine was like 95% accurate about me lol.
The whole point of AI is to glob all your information into one place so it can learn about you and relate things to other conversations. It's basically a search engine honeypot.
AI tends to have memory and require a log in to use.
It's not like search engines are not storing your search history though?
Exceptmits trickier with vpns and such, which make it easier to obfuscate your identity.
