"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Man, the company that made billions off search seems to want to do everything it can to destroy searching.
Killing off any trust left in their search engine.
Use the web API that you can get at tenbluelinks.org
It cuts the AI chaff right out of the equation.
google search is useless now. i have to append "reddit" to anything i search for
Same with DDG, which runs off of Bing. Every search is a wall of SEO garbage and commercial websites.
It is such a bad search engine now. Like repeating results and just the same AI written article from 12 different sites with names like "monkeyclambake"
I agree. I'm more and more tempted to switch to Kagi.
The killer feature for me with Kagi is being able to set priorities for domains. Like, never show me pinterest, but show results from some obscure forum higher. Being able to customize results is such a great feature and allows filtering out a lot of the spam
They were the middle man but they can no longer afford to let you go on to the next page without shoving more ads down your throat.
So now they are just madly running around trying to read all the bullshit they stole so they can pretend they aren't just the middle man but the end point.
Well yeah, because AI will significantly disrupt or kill the old search. It’s a shame they felt the need to triple-down on all the gross moneymakers, and their AI efforts are terrible, but since AI stole everyone’s work and put it into a mega-set that cross-indexes at light speed, the traditional web search is likely to fade.
It’s also partly due to the pop-ups, time-extender tricks, and garbage design of a lot of sites. Clicking one search result after another, scrolling, not finding what is being searched for is not as necessary for boring things.
