Google search is still a very shitty product right now. In a blind test I would never conclude they are the market leader. It used to work a few years ago though.

Indeed. They started pushing things that make them profit before the things that you’re searching for. They love the revenue stream but are realizing now that it’s also killing their main product: googling.

But if they’re moving to AI it will probably be the same, trying to guide you into selling something instead of giving what you want. Microsoft too is trying to paper over their os with ads so you know what direction they’re going.

It’s so exhausting. Google “how to do thing” and it’s just dozens of links to webshops that sell barely related products to your search.
