    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.

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

        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

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

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