I just got into a little spat with my friends fiance because she intellectually offloads with AI.

I stand by it.

The number of people I know who now ask AI instead of web searching is... very upsetting.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Doesn't help that web search is shit nowadays

[–] arin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That might be intentional and also coz of the shitty ai blog/info sites

100% it is barely usable now I gave Kagi a few tries and was really impressed by how good and sane the results are but I cannot get myself to hand out more money to an American company.

I should add that they are what's called a Public Benefit Corporation now so there is so effort coming from them.

In the case of Google it is very much intentional, and documented. Good search means fewer search attempts and that means fewer displayed ads.

If you search Google just serves you their AI shit. The other day their AI told me the word "rainy" has 4 letters.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

It's does have 4 letters. It has 5 letters too.

[–] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

It does. It also has 5 letters but 4 is technically correct

Google search has got so bad in the last couple of years that I actually don’t blame people for using AI for this.

Theres actually a secret third option

going offline to live in a hut in the forest?

[–] BottleBoardBakon@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 hours ago

Close, use not google

Yesterday I googled: Hardware store "City Name". It only returned stores from a different city. So I googled: Hardware store "City Name City Name City Name" and it returned a single one for every result

[–] Dialectical_Specialist@quokk.au 2 points 2 days ago

the number of people who are web searching are still majorly just consuming google's AI and thats... more upsetting
