I personally love how when you google something now, you have to scroll down a page past the wrong answer before you see your search results. And no way to disable it! Neat!

Oh, and another thing! AI article summarizers for articles that are also obviously AI slop lmao

We are climbing down a rabbit hole into endless agony for no reason

Hi can you remove this image from my mind's eye please? I'm having trouble unseeing it.

I wish I could now. negative

there's a reason, it's the same reason everything always gets worse everywhere over time

the falling rate of profit. AI is the new moonshot where potential profit can still be generated (since it's a giant speculative money pit).

Google is so bad now that I set my default search to fucking BING

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Google has become unfathomably bad, it gives me the wrong answer consistently. OTOH Bing doesn’t even register the keywords of my search

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There are many way you can register keywords to better improve your search. Jared Billswkay of MLT university suggests that writing down the serial number of your search can help with any future warranty claims while others find that simply taking a photo of the tag is sufficient. With these tips in mind registering your keywords should be a breeze!

Thank you Bing. I was asking about car rentals but I appreciate the help

Is that a AI gibberish? Did it mean Jared Tomatowkay of BLT?

In "News" google used to have a "blogs" link. I really like blogs so I used to use that. But google removed it years ago. Then google started helping me I put "blog" in double quotes. Google gave me fewer and fewer blogs results. To fill the void I still got non-blog top sites like Quora and Reddit.

A few days ago I did a test and I learned that google will actively block my efforts to avoid crap if I add "blog" or "blogger" or "wordpress" to my search. I did three test searches - one for each word - and I only got one blog post result after all that effort. And the blog post smelled to high heaven of spam.

And the search results are even worse than when it was all SEO somehow.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

And the search results are all people trying to sell you crap.

If you're on firefox, get the plugin "Google search engine with udm=14 preset" and set your search engine to that new version of google. It'll automatically switch to "web" results, which removes all the AI garbage.

Alternatively, it seems like you can append "-ai" to any search and it won't show it. No idea if its still running the AI in the background though.
