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.
So basically Google is on the take, because they are literally dependant upon the ad industry.
As such, advertisers don’t want the consumer to be informed, but just to buy whatever they make the most off, and that’s usually subpar crap sold through a chain of fake media outlets. Real closet stuffers.
As such, the AI problem is added on top of the ads based industry basically trying to overrun and take over tech journalism, which is a marketing departments wet dream.
So yeah, the conflict of interests is too great. You can never really trust Google or Bing, but even so Bing is better nowadays than Google.
I just use Qwant instead of DDG because I don’t care who gets the data, even though both are just Bing lol
I think I’m going over to SearXNG - if I’m transitioning to anything, simply because big data vendors and ad agencies should not have control over people’s queries or answers. FFS. I believe the Americans have an idiom, “letting the fox watch the henhouse”? Yes, that.
