I still don’t think it’s talked about enough how useless Google search is becoming. It genuinely infuriates me on a daily basis.
That’s what I see AI actually replacing, along with those shit websites that write 1000 words for instructions that could be summarised in 4 bullet points.
I don’t know if Google would fully adopt AI into their search though, as they have such a strong incentive to keep things how they are.
A search user’s goal is to find something related to what they typed.
Google’s goal is to make money based on what was typed.
Whether google uses AI or not, their goal will be at odds with the user’s and the results will only be useful enough that most people won’t completely stop using search.
Dude, for real, I don’t know how you use google, but I do not have ANY trouble whatsoever using google. I hate the company, yes, but the search works great still. And with some tips, like using quotation marks and filetype and such, even pesky results are easy to find. Granted, I have to skip like 3 ad results, but that’s it. And I jse google at work EVERYDAY.

The only useless results I get in search engines these days is the AI garbage. It’s not better than what you mentioned - it’s the same, if not worse.
Google has different goals than a search user.

I think y’all just suck at googling
Guess it depends what you’re searching for.
If I’m searching for niche information then it’s a nightmare to get the algorithm to stop showing me the generic top results.
