Do you even use google anymore? Or search engines in general?
I just realised I haven't used one for weeks
I wanted to know where Hitler was buried and instead of using Jewgle I just asked ChatGPT

yes, search engines will disappear in a short future. wikipedia too lol

>>105996595
near future i mean. i'm ESL

I use copilot for most things. Search engines if I want something from a specific site, but it's never where I start anymore. I'm old enough to have witnessed the quantum leap from altavista to google, but now LLMs have surpassed that. Google these days reminds me of how poor search engines performed back when people thought "search engine optimization" should be a job title.

>search engine optimization ENGINEER

Google has been quite good for seeing new porn scenes being uploaded across the web. But it's been surprisingly slow lately. Dunno if they're suppressing more than ever or if there's just less uploads.

Google has become so useless that I use DuckDuckGo most of the time now.

Where is the AI going to get its training data if all the info left in the world is itself from AI. Information is literally going to get lost like this. Not only that, but some amount of false information is probably going to become "real".

I installed yacy on my server and blacklisted the usuals. It works pretty well.

So you chose something that is:
- slower
- less reliable
- worse for privacy (especially with google alternatives)

For what reason?
Is this a shilling campaign or are normies this dumb?

>>105997644
>slower
You are poor

yes i still use googlel
but it's in parallel with other engines

>>105996578 (OP)
>Google
No. Even without ai overviews its fucking trash now.

>search engines in general
Mostly not, I have 70% of websites I need configured as site searches. @w for wikipedia, @aw for arch wiki, @pd for protondb. Skips the middleman search engine entirely and in most cases sends me straight to the page I need. The other 30% is duckduckgo.

Search engines are almost useless now; it's better to just search individual sites. At least LLMs give relevant information and can adapt solutions quickly. You also don't have to hope that someone on stack overflow or reddit has had the same issue.

LLMs are as worthless as google unless you use the api
I can’t believe you retards put up with this shit

This has been the case since 2017, DDG (Bing) is a better search engine. If you're realizing it now, 8 years later, is because you never did a proper testing or just didn't want to use anything else because of stigma or something.

>>105996578 (OP)
Yes but it's annoying as fuck using anything but Google and even that has its moments of not so great fuckery. Bing used to be decent but it fails to return relevant information more than 30% of the time, seriously it's sad.

AI will become Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), that would possess human level cognitivethinking and processing

>>105996578 (OP)
Yandex, everyday.

>>105996578 (OP)
I have replaced all search engines with AI chatbots and take psychedelic drugs before asking them anything. Why? Because two hallucinations are better than one!

>>105996578 (OP)
I'm using vscode copilot so I can get information directly inside my editor instead of googling

>>105996578 (OP)
I just use search engines to search through all the stack overflow sister sites because these fucks couldn't just make one site that has everything

Website spam is so bad I don't even click if it's not a forum site like stack.

That's a problem for the next CEO. The current CEO will get billions of dollars from government and investors and when/if things go up he'll just get fired, receive a compensation based on performance (so millions of dollars) and move on to the next company.

The current system is a fucking joke.

>>105996578 (OP)
I use Kagi.
It costs $10, no ads, but I can afford it so it's worth it to me.

>>106003111
Useless if it doesn't have data.

>>105996578 (OP)
But Google doesn't show search results anymore either, their AI shit is the only thing anyone reads now. Until they start hiding ads in that as well, that is.

google might not be dead (yet), but stackoverflow absolutely-fucking-is. used to go there daily, now since using LLMs havent had to visit in months (thank god)

google still has some worth when it comes to searching for very recent stuff. but even then you have to add "wiki" or "reddit" or whatever keywords to actually get relevant hits rather than 1000 jeet malware sites interspersed with ads and promoted pages. so its basically just a lazy shortcut to those pages you already knew existed and just needed a quick way to get to, rather than a useful search engine at this point. sort of like a kind of dynamic bookmark system

>>106006134
But what happens 10 years from now when LLMs don't have a stackoverflow equiv to read about the newest tech?

>>106006036
AI can be trained on data from AI - human interactions and Law allowing add AI into raw systems like cameras, IT systems, phones, computers to freely scan to train

>>106003732
lol!

ai relies on search engines so no
