    Google became crap about 10 years ago when they added the product banner in the top, and had the first 5-10 search results be promoted ads. Long before they every considered adding AI.

      Time is sneaking up on us. It’s not even 10 years anymore. It’s closer to 20. 💀

      I guess. And then they removed the “Don’t be evil” motto just to drive the point home.

      But you have to agree, the company DID become even worse once they started using AI.

        Oh absolutely. It’s just important to remember that they’ve been horrible for a long time, and has shown more ads in a single search than your average 30 minute youtube video.
