Google is replacing their search results with AI answers. There’s a very simple explanation for this: it’s better/cheaper to provide potentially wrong answers to keep you clicking within Google than it is to send you away for the right answers. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/14/24155321/google-search-ai-results-page-gemini-overview
@kottke funny this post comes up now. About 15 minutes ago I changed my default search on the work computer to DuckDuckGo because I was tired of Google’s useless AI results. Old information, wrong information, or not at all what I was looking for was 95% of what I was getting. Makes it completely useless.
@pies @kottke I’ve been tempted too.
