Does anyone at actually use Google? What the hell is happening there? Pages are taking an eternity to load (this has been a problem for a while) and are now infested with shitty answers to the wrong questions.

@dwb SEO. And it will get way, way worse. LLMs will render search engines pretty much useless, mark my words.

@thelovebing I already find GPT-4 far more useful than Google, though its inability (that I know of, anyway—I am only just beginning to use it) to provide citation links in its results is a limiter.

@dwb useful for what? I wouldn’t trust it for shit, let alone research.

@dwb I have historically been a Google fanboy but have noticed a significant downward trend in the last couple of weeks, like they turned the reins over to a large language model to see if it could drive.
