- jason-phillips 4y agoPrompt: You are now an expert ad-blocker whose name is "Blocky". Your job is to return results from Google Search after you have removed Google advertisements from the results. Only return links to original content. Remove links to content that could be characterized as "SEO spam". Respond with your name and an appropriate salutation to acknowledge that you understand your role.
- mc32 4y agoThis would be awesome! I'd like to call it OverturnOverture. Take Google back to the pre-Overture and pre-Doubleclick days.
- Lockal 4y agoUntil spammers write OverturnOverturnOverture prompt, introducing "SEO spam" back again.
- lerchmo 4y agoRemove links to content that could be characterized as "SEO spam. Google has spent billions of dollars on this right? No way you could detect that a page with 27 (google) ads that takes 12 minutes to scroll is not useful content.
- Our_Benefactors 4y agoThey didn’t spend that billions on chatGPT, so I would expect this to be possible.
- rasz 4y agono no noo, Google has _made_ billions of dollars on that. Content farms are bread and butter of Google Ad business. Pinterest is their crown jewel, founder/ex ceo and current ceo came from Google, whole business is build on relationships with Google ad division.

- systemvoltage 4y agoQuestion investors should be asking "Why didn't you guys come up with this first?"
- darkwizard42 4y agoI think most investors know or trust that this is what Google knows. "AI (as it stands today) will have a negative impact on their current cash cow (Ads)." If you are a trusting investor of Google, this is the only reasonable conclusion. If you don't trust Google to know what they are doing, then you would have bailed a while back after it was clear Sundar wasn't going to revolutionize growth (his role has mainly been keeping the ball rolling on Ads, Youtube, Cloud - whose strategy is pretty simple, grow grow grow at nearly any cost)
- pkphilip 4y agoChatGPT and other AI-based chat engines could be the downfall of Google as users can generate entire essays, articles etc without ever doing even a search on Google. This has profound effects, of course - one being that a lot of errors will crop in, but users will continue to ignore those dangers and use these AI tools.
- moi2388 4y ago“He dismissed the notion that chatbots posed a threat to Google’s search business, which accounts for more than half of revenue at parent Alphabet Inc.” That’s great. Between bookmarks and GPT, I haven’t done a Google search in over a month. If I wanted to see ads I’d subscribe to Facebook.
- typon 4y agoGoogle search has absolutely deteriorated to the point of being useless for me. The only valuable thing left from are walled gardens like Google Maps that contain curated information. The open web, or at least Google's understanding of it, is a wasteland. Here's a concrete example of something I experienced just yesterday. Watched the excellent film "A touch of sin" and wanted to know about the background so I went on Google and started searching. I actually gave it a good try and gave up after 10 minutes. Asked ChatGPT and it gave me the perfect answer, zero shot: My prompt: The Chinese movie "A touch of sin" is based on four real-life events from chinese life, all random acts of violence. Can you provide the real-life events that were the basis for the movie? Only answer if you are confident that these were indeed the original events. Make sure this answer is based in news sources ChatGPT-4: "A Touch of Sin," directed by Jia Zhangke, is a 2013 Chinese film inspired by four real-life events that occurred in China. While the movie creatively adapts the stories, these are the actual events that served as its basis: * Zhou Kehua's crime spree (2010-2012): Zhou Kehua was a notorious serial killer and robber who targeted ATM users in several Chinese cities. He murdered at least 10 people and was eventually shot dead by the police in August 2012. ... I'm leaving out the others but I double checked each one and they're all correct.
