> When we look back in 3 months we will wonder why we thought LLM/GPT type queries will replace search in all forms. It's not just blind optimism for the future of AI. We need search to be better because it's a cesspool of SEO spam/content farms and AI generated garbage. Search engines have declined in effectiveness and utility. We've lost even basic functionality like the consistent ability say "-whatever" to filter out garbage. Google, even DDG, have really dropped the ball here. We're left looking for a savior and suddenly AI comes in and promises to be able to tell us whatever we need to know, it hints at a near future where AI is trained to see the spam and bring actual content to the top of search results again. We're so over dealing with the mess Google has made of their once awesome search engine that for a brief moment the entire internet was excited about fucking Bing! I have to admit, I'm disappointed that it doesn't appear that Sydney will be the hero we need, but these are still early days and I hope all the attention leads to advancement in our understanding of AI and that fear of competition gets these companies to put a little more effort into improving the search engines they have now.
