The internet as we knew it is doomed to be full of ai garbage. It’s a signal to noise ratio issue. It’s also part of the reason the fediverse and smaller moderated interconnected communities are so important: it keeps users more honest by making moderators more common and, if you want to, you can strictly moderate against AI generated content.
I switched to duckduckgo before this bullshit, but this would 100% make me switch if I hadn’t already.
Who wants random ai gibberish to be the first thing they see?
If search engines don’t improve to address the AI problem, most of the Internet will be AI gibberish.
I think that ship has sailed

DuckDuckGo started showing AI results for me.
I think it uses the bing engine iirc.
Sure, but it’s trivial to turn it off. While you’re there, also turn off ads.
Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven’t returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.
The plan is to monetize the AI results with ads.
I’m not even sure how that works, but I don’t like it.
