Where are the sample queries and corresponding results to demonstrate that it works well? Oh there aren’t any?

Splendid.
AI Slop Websites: Visited by AI Crawlers to gether info
People: Preferring AI search to visiting websites due to insane amounts of AI slop websites hindering the ability to find information Writers: Not writing articles because too few people will read them. Mostly hit by AI Crawlers
Result: Me touching grass until further notice

  Or: just make Wikipedia.org your default search. 90% of the time I’m looking for the wiki page anyway

Imagine if Google had simply not made Google Search shit

  I don’t know if ‘simply’ is the word I’d use here, but there’s clearly been some unforced errors on Google’s part with regards to search

    I’m too lazy to find the article (google the man who ruined google search, think it was ed zitron’s blog) but TL;DR they made the key metric for search users something like ad impressions per search or something, whereas it used to be how fast you found what you were looking for. It was a deliberate decision, so I’d say ‘simply’ may just be the word here.

  As a company that was forced to realize their profit model was <advertising and data> and <advertising and data> alone…
  
  It was simply inevitable that “Don’t be Evil” become “Evil R Us”.
