I’ve been running a kind of long experiment over the years. I search the same word every now and then. Watching the top results change has been fascinating. It’s gone from definitions to ads, and now it automatically tries to link into Google maps too. The original top results aren’t even visible without scrolling anymore.
The web filter is in that stupid filter carousel, and it’s just off of the screen on mobile. So you have to swipe left from the top of the screen to view web results.
I’m guessing these are changes for chrome users? I haven’t seen any of those new AI changes. Granted I don’t use Google primarily, and was only testing a few times.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This article is easily falsifiable bullshit. Just ask google a question and you’ll get the same kind of search results as you always have.
Lol

Google has been getting DUMBER AND DUMBER for years now !

Mashed potatoes can be your friends.

Yeah, because you’ve filled the top page with it, jackass.
Best part…

As useful as the technology can be, I am getting tired of this AI crap.
