no search has been garbage for more than 10 years now, years before any usable AI model even existed. AI articles just made it worse.
SEO and relentless profit optimization of search engines without regard for UX is what is to blame in my book.

SEO and relentless profit optimization of search engines without regard for UX is what is to blame in my book.
what I like about using AI for search is that even if it’s wrong, it’s at least pointing me in the right direction.
whereas if I use a modern search engine I find nothing.
I remember when search engines would actually give you what you were looking for. those were the days. I would take that over AI search any time.
When you could actually get useful exact matches and semantic matches too.
nowadays search engines are more like:
“if page contains one of the stem words in the query, then return the page as top result; ignore all other words in the query or what order they are in”
someone at google probably got 1000000 billion dollars for this innovative “optimization”
I would be interested to see a comparison between AI search and classic search. “How often does it find what I am looking for?” and “How often is that info confidently wrong?” compared.
Classic search is so garbage these days, I can never find what I am looking for.
They will be used to train an AI on, so it can uselessly scroll through social media all day as accurately as possible
