Google image results are shit on purpose. They used to be better (long before AI). I am guessing that they use the pretence that it's all about porn. But they do it for tools, equipment, stereos etc.. to give bad results. Are they getting paid (yet) to return bad results?

Manipulating search results for profit is something that they already do, and targeted adverts. So it's not that much of a stretch. I was just wondering if it is acknowledged already.
