there was a time that google did something that doesn't scale: you could pay google to employ some employee to manually search something in the web for you i never used this service but people said it was magic, because those employees really really knew how to get the most out of a web search i suppose it was retired because the plan was always to make the search itself better however in the last years or decade i have noticed a regression, in that i can't find things i was sure i would in some ways this mirrors the chatgpt regression in quality due to constrained compute resources or something like that
