I often find my self rewording and rewording the question to get to what may be a possible answer. Is that part of the plan to keep me engaged? Why though?
The majority of websites are task based and aren’t’ meant to keep you constantly engaged, they’re meant to help you find what you’re looking for and take an action. It’s really only websites that rely on advertising to support them that want you mindlessly engaged for as long as possible so they can charge their advertisers more.
That’s 2007 evil, we’re at several levels eviller now compounded with stupidity.
There was a time in the early 2000s when good old Google search was so good, it got you your results in record time. One query and a couple of clicks. And then they realized they could sell more ads if your search took just a couple of queries longer. Every query was a chance to sell more ads. And the results got worse.
Personally, I don’t use a search engine that spits out so-called AI results. I manage the old-fashioned way because I’m old. But the principle to give you shittier results to get you to rephrase your search and thus multiply ad sale opportunities surely applies here as well.
One thing I’ve always appreciated about the 'Net is that when you want to get a good answer, submitting something glaringly-wrong is often a highly successful stratergy. I guess if you’re sideways bundling that idea in to your shower thought, then it seems kinda plausible…
Maybe!
do AI have ads now? I just use duck.ai and lumo for formatting stuff or checking grammar… when they start having ads, they will try to hold you on the page
