This is kinda random, but I've been getting consistently better results from MetaAI for reverse searching phone numbers than with Google search!

This is not a one off. Incredible and surprising fail for a search engine!

(Edit to clarify: I'm talking about public office numbers)

@giffmana Aren’t there any safety filter than prevent this on metaai ? Chatgpt often refuse to answer when I ask it the same thing

@giffmana are we sure that's a feature?

@giffmana honestly meta should spin off a secret five eyes + EU division since they are so good at intel

@giffmana or rather, *you* do 😹😹

@giffmana they do have whatsapp

@SimonGoodman_ It's public office numbers, that's why I'm surprised!

@giffmana Interesting data point — Google's search quality for local/non-indexed public records has been slipping, while MetaAI's retrieval seems more flexible with unstructured queries.

@glvnme It's public office numbers, that's why I'm surprised!

@giffmana That is really surprising to hear

Meta AI seems to be winning in unexpected areas

@giffmana the ai knows too much about our unlisted numbers meanwhile google shows me ads for pizza when i search my own name

@giffmana google falling off in niche areas is wild

what else does meta pull better these days?

@giffmana google dropped the ball on phone lookups

meta figured it out before them lol

@giffmana Google lost the crown for reverse search and nobody noticed.
