What the hell is going on with Google search? Has it completely shit itself after the AI implementation? I know its been bad for a while but this is another level.
Short answer, yes. The ratio of LLM generated noise to actual content is increasing exponentially as we speak. To us it seems overnight because the increase is so steep but it's been happening for several years. And it's going to get a lot worse.
Honestly, I think we'll have to go back to 90s methods like web rings and human curated link directories.
I remember having to buy a book. A book with URLs. Before search engines existed.
Good times.
On Google: I'll never forgive them for getting rid of their pseudo secret government search google.com/unclesam where I found a lot of .mil docs I probably shouldn't have been able to.
Why do you say this existed? :(
Now I am sad I didnt know about it earlier....
This is why I love Duckduckgo, I can turn off AI and ads.
