    i think its time to take google out back and ole- yeller it.

    twice in the past couple hours, exceedingly simple queries–one on perishability of a food product (i shit you not EVERY result on the first page was AI, some were trying to be recipes. for spoiled food.)

    the other on the family tree of characters in a show (as if a heap of fan-art versions wouldn’t have existed, by god make the AI scrape them and hide the originals!)

    yandex is goated now

      Unironically one of my points of contention is how companies “fix” their great products.

      Google had something special. One of the best search engines. I’d be willing to put up with some ads because if I’m googling “where to buy a shirt”, it would be convenient for google to spit back “try Uniqlo, they’re having a sale RN.” Then of course they decide to be a chatGPT clone. Like it’s so alienating to be told “hey why don’t you be INNOVATIVE and use AI!?” and not even be given an option to say “no thanks”, and I hate to admit it, but I gave that shit a real chance and it’s garbage.
