    For fucks sake! Who really cares what Google’s shitty AI does? You can still search articles written by actual human beings. Has AI become so fundamental to our daily routine that we’re going to upset ourselves over what info the sleazeballs that created it allow it to produce?

    Maybe try reading real information?

      In this case, I believe this article was written for those of us who are smart enough to realise that AI is all bullshit, and who understand that most people aren’t smart enough to figure out that first bit.

      The whole value in searching is to get me to primary sources in a reasonably efficient way. Everything about AI is inserting extra middle men. I just don’t understand how anyone tolerates it.

    This is probably payback for letting them off the hook on the monopoly suits. Expect more “payback” as they manipulate the narrative.

      If you don’t mind paying a little I have found that Kagi is the best. Sure, the others mentions are free but subpar, even to google. Kagi is simply better but with the downside of a monthly subscription. I love that they are quite transparent with changelogs and stuff when the make changes.

      Kagi.

      The downside is that it costs $10 per month.

      The upside is:

      • Privacy first
      • You can pin websites to the top of results, promote them so they appear higher, demote them so they appear lower, or have them completely removed
      • Lenses - quickly tell Kagi what type of results you want (News sources, academic articles, forum posts, programming sites, small web, etc.)
      • Snaps - search shortcuts kinda like bangs. Eg, typing @w is the same as typing site:wikipedia.com
      • An actual good AI summary. Completely unobtrusive - only activated when you press the button, doesn’t overextrapolate your request, and will only source the same results that you get from the search
      • Direct image results

      When I first migrated a couple years ago, it was a bit worse than Google but pretty close. Nowadays, I find it to be much much better. It’s honestly close to how Google was back in 2015 before they made it garbage.

    Oh so youre saying that AI companies can control what the AI says?

    So meta letting their AI sext with children was intentional then…

    Ok, so don’t look for an AI response? Sure, Google censoring results is shit, google NOT censoring results about the same query about Biden is even shittier, but you still get search results about the question.
