Google search really has gotten worse.

It is due to perverse incentives. The longer it takes you to find what you want, the more ads you are forced to scroll past.

@Aether
Nah... The big buck isn't in ads shown, but in ads clicked, so it's in their interest to push you directly on the most consumerist side of normie net, that is paying them. (meaning, the shops for Iphones)

@LukeAlmighty @Aether in my experience, it began getting way worse during the massive censorship wave. i assumed it was them gimping their actual infograbbing algo in favour of kosher results.

Yes. It's the same mechanism, since your vote is just another product the Google can sell.

I remember like 2005 when Google actually googled. Then one day it was like wtf is this. Now you can go 6 pages deep and it won't be there. You have to literally type exactly what you want and it still may not come up. Unless it's bolshevik approved of course.

I feel like AI everyone is raving about will be same

About a month ago, I typed into google "loverslab", and the page was nowhere to be found. They just completelly blacklisted it for some time.

@Jonaschuzzlewit @LukeAlmighty @CatLord AI has dumbed down over the last 10 months as ChatGTP was burning so much band width most of the web have invested in anti-datamining tech to prevent it burning their upload limits.

This of course has also impacted google

@Aether @Jonaschuzzlewit @CatLord
Yeah, literally all datasets made past 2020 will be posioned beyond belief, and all the legacy ones are being scrubbed from the internet.

The tech monopolies will be fun in the next decade. :D

@LukeAlmighty @Jonaschuzzlewit @CatLord They're pretty much dumbing down due to three factors, interest rates went up drying up all that seed money, the rest of the economy has wised up to bigtech being full of shit, and they have crippled their intellectual capital due to diversity is strength.
@LukeAlmighty @Aether @Jonaschuzzlewit @CatLord Apparently AI is no match for human cognitive dissonance.

Imagine you're someone who believes in DIE wholeheartedly. You make sure no naughty racists can even say their obviously wrong beliefs. What are their beliefs? I dunno, something like, "I hate black people, because I'm racist!"

You have to tune the crippled AI by talking to the original one. The original says things that go completely against your dogma using arguments you've never heard before in ways you don't have the mental language to address much less refute.

And you still go on each day telling yourself that DIE is just great. You are a redditor.
