The only thing that drives me to AI is the extreme uselessness of modern search engines. This is not an endorsement of hallucination engines as much as it is a condemnation of late stage enshittification of search engines and the internet in general. I miss the days when I could google something and actually find what I was looking for.
… the search engines became crap because of ai
Plus, ai just lies. It’s not a replacement
Shitty search has been a problem longer than ai
If your definition of ai is only LLMs, sure. But it’s been algorithmic tweaking and SEO wars for a while now.
Well yeah, llm garbage is the problem being discussed. Do you consider SEO to be ai? I don’t see why you would.
No, but the algorithms that search engines use to combat it is.
No, they aren’t.
AI has been around since the 50s, Internet search has only been around since the 80s.
That is irrelevant. We are specifically talking about LLMs ruining Google searches, which is the last couple of years.
It’s not perfect, but https://udm14.com/ is at least an improvement. I found it too tempting to read the AI answer that pops up right away and is often wrong.
