People like AI because searches are full of SEO spam listicles. Eventually they will make LLMs as ad-riddled as everything else.
My specific point here was about how this friend doesn't trust the results AND still goes to Google/others to verify, so he's effectively doubled his workload for every search.
Then why not use an ad-blocker? It's not wise to think you're getting the right information when you can't verify the sources. Like I said, at least for me, the trust me bro aspect doesn't cut it.
Ad blockers won't cut out SEO garbage.
And the AI will? It will use all websites to give you the info. It doesn’t think, it spins.
I didn't say that it will, just saying that ad blockers won't block it out.
