With Biden, AI Mode will provide a summarized answer.
I just tried “Trump signs of dementia” and got ‘An AI Overview is not available for this search’ Meanwhile subbing in “Biden” have a full ai summary. Sus for sure
The wealthy want AI to be treated as actual intelligence when it is just a machine that spits out the words that its owner allows.
I’m actually surprised people still heavily use Google search.
Not for some tech snob snark reason, but because it’s unusable.
I only ever go back to Google if I’m really desperate, and I can’t recall the last time it ever delivered me a result I considered useful.
It’s all SEO AI spam, and those are the web results Google returns only after all of its own AI and shopping bloat.
Completely useless.
What do you use instead?
Not the person you’re replying to, but you could try DuckDuckGo
Ddg is crap. I pretty much immediately went back to google.
Thought the same thing too… until I learned how to use it lol
Which is how? Had same experience, tried it for a few days and went back pretty much instantly.
That’s just Bing with extra slop
Edit: downvotes from people I can only assume are mad that they’ve been tracked by Microsoft this whole time and can’t figure out how to properly channel their anger
It’s a sad day when Bing is better than Google, but we’ve been there for a while. Not to say either is good, I switched to a self hosted SearXNG a while ago and it’s so much better.
I tried the same and must admit I got frustrated with SearXNG. The lack of customization is really frustrating, or maybe too difficult to find if it’s there.
I consistently get much worse results with DDG/Bing than Google.
Edit: downvotes? My personal experience is wrong?
If you’re still using Google I don’t think you should be complaining about the AI slop elsewhere.
You might note that I’m not suggesting alternatives that are just as sloppy and worse overall.
