      I just don’t understand how an image search for anything gives you maybe 20 results, 17 of which are irrelevant. You used to get a hundred relevant images for literally anything.
      They created that amp; service that stopped you from accessing websites in one tap; the arguably first commercial AI service, image object recognition, is garbage; it doesn’t reverse search people anymore; AI overview shows up on 19/20 searches.

      Could probably get a better experience using Google if you use a device only capable of 2G, GPRS or TLS 1.1.

      I went to search something up on Google Scholar the other day, and even that has some AI shit injected into it now.

      Can we please just nuke the internet and start from scratch?

        Maybe, if you don’t care about privacy or ethics. I don’t have any trouble using other engines and finding what I want.

        Sort of. I’ve switched to Kagi and I mostly like it. They clearly don’t have as much of the internet indexed but they have most of it and the stuff they do have is properly searchable.

        Google has more stuff but they hide the actual result under a pile of garbage.

          Sure to why I search, technical, industrial, etc. There really isn’t a rival. And honestly, scroll past the first half page, you get better results then any other engine. I’ve tried swapping to others, but it takes to long, or you just can’t find correct answers.
