I thought it was that one dude who was killing Google search, per Ed Zitron and Cory Doctorow. Personally I use Kagi which uses direct access to Google’s API and piggybacks off them but makes much greater and efficient use of search results that I’ve found, and it’s highly worth the subscription cost IMO.
On the AI note, I assume in some dark corner of industry, genuine progress is actually being made by unnamed and under appreciated researchers who are just as tired as I am of unjustly glorified and hugely error prone chat bots that go by the mantle of “artificial intelligence.”
I’ve experimented with Google Gemini a bit and it tends to forget mountains of context the more you follow up with it and whenever you want to get increasingly precise, it straight up refuses to answer your question. I’ve had to threaten to delete it a couple times to get it to acquiesce and give me answers and it does so but with great reservations. It feels like I’m arguing with a stoner half the time. I think on the consumer level at best, we’ve probably reached pothead level AI, but I can’t speak for enterprise uses. But if the previous experts in question are this cynical, I can’t imagine the best of AI yet to come is going to yield any revolutionary promise.
