Beautiful
Right to the point, good summary mate!
The future is AI.
Bad bot
Ok but this is hilarious lol
I thought it was a really good representation of the OpenAI search engine.
The irony here is palpable
Good bot
I guess it’s better than … “On your knees meatbag”
Begun, the AI wars have.
Info enshittification can mean only one thing: full scale invasion. Apparently
i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords
You don’t type questions into search engines? I’ve been doing that for well over a decade and it helps find others asking the same thing.
I find that I have to do that now, because it seems the internet has been geared towards people that think you have to ask the computer a question instead of searching for key words like how it used to work.
I find it more difficult now because often the search results are what the search engine thinks I want, instead of what I actually asked for.

I mean, this is what we see/read in sci-fi series and movies at least since the 60’s.
And I prefer it the other way.
Hopefully new competitors on the market will all have to try their best before they start being shitty.
So all the AI enshittification of Google results was just 4D chess all along!
Wym?
Open ai is “owned” by Microsoft so no, google are just shooting themselves in the foot with shitty search results
It’ll herd users to the new product. It’s like when reddit enshittified its mobile web page to move folks to its app. Both reddit; but they shot themselves in one foot to shift weight over to the other foot.
Are you saying Google is herding their users to the new product of their competitors? I honestly don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here.
I think the point they’re trying to make here is they don’t like reddit’s app
Well no… but also yes!
Sorry, initial post was meant to be more cheeky than anything else: Basically saying AI folks like OpenAI have seriously damaged the quality of Google’s search results, and in doing so established demand for a new search option… and now they’re announcing a competitor to Google.
One foot (google) was shot to shift traffic over to the other (whatever this new shit is). Wasn’t meant to imply Google is in on it… the reddit analogy might just be muddying the waters, but the analogy was reddit as a company to search engines as a category.
Top execs got fat off firing people and offshoring while new marker participant obtained what appears to a lead in their core business lol
Let’s see how this plays out.
Hmm.
Interesting idea. I mean, if you are a corporate competitor, why not? Especially if you injected the static into the blood stream.
I am honestly a little confused, what are they trying to bring to the table that isn’t covered by Bing Chat AI already?
Having weird duplicate products is not unusual at Microsoft. It probably would have been better for everyone, including shareholders, if they’d been broken up or spun off divisions as they grew.
If they had spun off Windows and Office into independent companies, Windows would have made a competing office suite and Office would have made a competing OS
If it is just a repackaging of ChatGPT’s existing “search the web” function, I don’t know why they’d bother. It can at best summarize a page of search results for a very literal-minded query, and even then it’s often lobotomized by the fact that OpenAI has made it easy for a large number of top websites to opt out of having their pages accessible to their search crawler, which means you’re only getting a summary of the search result snippet and metadata. A competent user of Google search can run rings around it in terms of research, even with Google’s decline in quality. I guess it makes it faster to answer basic queries for recent information not in the training data, but that hardly seems worthy of a big event.
Is this going to be the mule produced by breeding OpenAI with the Bing team?
I can hear it braying from way down the road, dropping steaming loads of marketing as it comes to stink up the place kicking children in their teeth, all while making billions from it in the process. Heee hawwww .
If it’s using AI then it’ll suck just as much as friggin Google.
Sticking with duck duck go. Not seeing advertising, news or video recommendations based on a one time search in Google is bliss.
So, they’re announcing that they’re going to announce something?
Just what I need, another useless search engine.
Correction: An even more useless search engine.
How do we know that its useless? Is there a beta link you guys are trying?
I’ve noticed that anything even remotely related to AI gets shit on immediately here on Lemmy. To the point where people will try to claim it’s bad at things that people who use it daily know it’s decent to very good at.
The users here want very much for LLMs to not be good because they see it as stealing creativity from people and sold back to them and it makes them feel better to try to believe the product isn’t good.
That said, I’d prefer to keep my search engine and LLM tools separate.
