Over the last two years, a series of updates to Google Search amount to a dramatic upheaval to the Internet's most powerful tool, complete with an unprecedented AI feature.
Google is completely unusable. I know google fu, and had in the past been able to find the info i needed by knowing how to use key words, exclusions, focus terms, ect. But now i couldn’t get what i wanted even using the AI, which itself is more then useless. It literally lies at my expense, who’s only goal is to gas light me into thinking i got what i needed. Do not use google.
Hyperbole is a literary device used to draw emphasis through extreme exaggeration. Hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally, but rather understood as a means of communicating something specific. Those who hear or read the hyperbole should understand that it is an exaggeration.
Well this isn’t literature. I read every day that people take for granted that Google is now “unusable”. It isn’t. It’s a free service that’s gotten a little worse. End of story.
I’ve yet to hear anything specific like that. Just that it’s “unusable” constantly. Despite the fact that, because Google is evil, I constantly try to use other search engines but literally none are ever as good as Google so I have to crawl back to the evil fuckers against my will. meanwhile, here in la-la land, everyone tells me that Google is utter trash which cannot possibly be used because it’s just immeasurable dogshit.

As an ex google ninja, what do you use now?
I hate to say it, but bing is my go to.
I’ll likely be downvoted for saying it here.
Dw I turned my downvotes off so I don’t care
Been using DUCKDUCKGO recently.
Same, duck duck go I believe.
Absolutely false and obviously so. If it was completely unusable no one would still use or talk about it. Why lie to make your point?
Edit: really struck a nerve with this one…how dare I suggest Google, a thing I successfully use every day, still resembles some level of utility.

But the kid said ‘literally’, so there’s that. And a lot of spelling errors, so charity was forfeit.

Hyperbole =/= lying. Re-read what I wrote.

🤨
Yeah it is exaggeration for most. However for someone who relied on accuracy of searches for work or whatever it may be as well as unusable
