Opera’s Aria AI feature is replacing Google Search for many users, including Jack Wallen. Aria allows users to conduct searches within the browser without having to navigate to Google.com and potentially encounter outdated information, paywalls, or poorly designed websites. Wallen finds Aria particularly useful for research purposes, allowing him to quickly find the information he needs without wasting time on irrelevant search results. He emphasizes that Aria is not a substitute for his own writing process and that he still values human-generated content for its uniqueness and creativity. Aria is beating Google at its own game when it comes to efficient and effective searches, making it a worthwhile feature for users to try.
