Now that every website has a search function, Google has slowly turned into “I’ll show you to the website and let them take it from there”. It’s absolute dog shit. I think the AI has already taken over, and it’s progressing really slowly so we aren’t aware of the change. It’s already too late to pull the plug, the AI knows we’re all driven by greed for attention and occasionally money, and it turns out those are both easily created and distributed in the modern age of the Internet, and very very unregulated.
