Or maybe for a long time?

Googling doesn’t help

    it’s better to get a summary from a human instead of having to sort through a bunch of SEO-spam sites where you have to wonder if what you’re reading is secretly an ad or written by some guy who knows nothing about the topic pumping out 20 of these 500-word articles a day for $100 a day.

    it’s one of the reasons I think both chatGPT & Kagi are better for “searching” stuff than Google. At least for certain things. I hate those SEO sites. I used to write for them when I was a teen in high school to make beer money. These days I’d imagine a lot of them are just gonna be written by AI going forward

    You know those sites. Kagi calls them listicles. “10 reasons why you should straighten your hair” “8 top things to keep in mind” etc etc

      All of that comes down to exactly what I said. The inability to read search results.

      I do agree that “ai” articles are horrible. And they’ll probably get better at what they do, unfortunately.

        I think it’s not as much an inability but an unwillingness. Although I concede some people are better at using search engines than others. Anybody who had to learn programming online for example is probably better than average.
