    Has anyone else noticed that Google’s results are largely irrelevant to the search now?

    I’ve found Gemini will answer the question or whatever I’ve typed in (almost always 100% incorrectly) , I’ll scroll past it only for the search results to be almost entirely random links that don’t include my search terms.

        🤢

        I’ve been on a bit of an anti smart tech crusade in my house recently, and it’s looking like I’m fully going back to 1999 then. If I don’t know something, and no one I can ask knows then I just don’t get to know. I refuse to ask the ai to search the internet for me when the search bar used to work perfectly fine and it’s giving me the wrong answers.

        Time to invest in one of those world encyclopaedias I guess.

          I’m happily using kagi for search. I have to pay for it, but that way I’m not (necessarily) the product.
