If you want to basic information about a physical exercise, a recipe, a travel destination or such... All the content in Google seems to be content farmed. Written by people who don't know, quickly, by copying similar articles. It's just a buggy, manual version of the proverbial gpt anyway. At this point, I may as well just go direct.
If I want to know about doing weighted crunches instead of sit ups, Google results already represent all the downsides of using gpt. The got UI is nicer. You can also narrow in on your questions, push back and generally get the same level of content in a better package.
Maybe the old chestnut of "computerized recipe book" will finally be solved.

- riku_iki 3y ago> All the content in Google seems to be content farmed you are just forgetting to add word "reddit" at the end of your query..
- edgyquant 3y agoThat doesn’t help and is just as astroturfed at this point. Companies caught on to this years ago
- riku_iki 3y agothat's very far from my experience, mods and voting community do great job in ranking good posts and comments. Maybe you can give example of your query which you are not satisfied with results?

- riku_iki 3y agoobviously many try to manipulate, the question is in final results, if they can really change picture dramatically.
- dalbasal 3y agoIdk... Maybe... But Reddit seems to hold info pretty poorly. A lot of the subs/posts and incredibly dumb. The good information is there, often, but finding it is hit and miss. Until relatively recently, unofficially archived gives web forums were still available. Reddit search is a downgrade, imo. In any case gpt can do reddit pretty well.
