    Its not a thought terminating cliche if you didnt cut the next word out. You can argue if AI is the future of search, I think there is a strong case that its proven very good at general information retrieval.

    How did search engine companies go out of their way to make normal searches worse? I search I get relevant results and its been that way for the past 20 years. Nothing has changed that has made search worse than it was 5 years ago. The only change is that people have recently gotten a choice between a google search or a chatgpt question and they were increasingly choosing chatgpt. fast forward to current day and that divide has only increased.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Searching

      This used to be a bare bones version of what you could do on literally every search engine. I had a high school class about this. 50/50 whether you got a ‘business’ teacher who didn’t know how to open PDF or the librarian who’d go on digressions about information theory and optimal solutions.

      In the late 2010s google followed immediately by other large search engines started removing these features and actively showing users worse results so they would do more searches and get shown more ads.

      Your shit won’t fly here, slopper.

        You can still search on search engines some searches dont even have any ads. So what feature was removed? They actively started showing worse results ok what did they do?

        Search engines still search same as they did in the 2010s. They have had ads for decades. It hasnt increased you search you see an ad or two or even none.

        Your replies are equivalent to AI slop. If you are going to write something please at least think about what you are writing.

      “Of”? I assume you mean the next two words, but not only doesn’t it change anything, I think it makes my response match even better. So I added them to the quote.
