Google search is literally fucking dogshit and the worst it has EVER been. I’m starting to think fucking duckduckgo (relies on Bing) gives better results at this point.
I have been using Duck for a few years now and I honestly prefer it to Google at this point. I’ll sometimes switch to Google if I don’t find anything on Duck, but that happens once every three or four months, if that.
The one thing Google still has over Duck for me at this point is reddit results. So much niche information is stored on that site, but they’ve blocked anyone other than Google from crawling the site so other engines can’t index past the point they changed that policy.
Careful. People here get mad about that for some reason. Like you can’t think Google sucks but that their search engine is still better than others. And people will argue with you that Google is way worse than anything else. I don’t know what planet they are from.
Isn’t it funny that a lot of people were worried that wikipedia would be unreliable because anyone could edit it, then turned out pretty reliable, but AI is being pushed hard despite being even more unreliable than the worst speculation about wikipedia?

I only go to the googs for maps.
Same.
Same here. I only switch to google to search for images for memes. For some reason bing has a harder time finding random star trek scenes.

I use ddg but find Google gives better results and Google’s snippet feature still rocks.

I don’t like AI in search engines but even duckduckgo’s AI is better lol.
And they let you turn it off
I’m in sciences and the AI overview gives wrong answers ALL THE TIME. If students or god forbid professionals rely on it thats bad news.

Being for profit excuses being shitty I guess.
AI is so fucking cap. There is no way to know if the information is accurate. It’s completely unreliable.
Ive been using only duckduck for years now. If I don’t find something there, I dont need it.
