Uhh yeah? Search isn't a trivial thing to implement and they still have the best product
Maybe the results are less relevant now because of AI spam, but they'll figure this out eventually. I'd say a good compromise is just using ublock origin to filter AI spam sites out of results
- fieldcny 3y agoThey have no reason to figure it out, they are a search monopoly and ads is their business. They are stuck like Kodak, if we don’t break them up, we have a bleak future.
- matrix87 3y agoWhy are they a monopoly in this sector? What's stopping people from just switching to Bing if their product goes to shit? Doing that literally takes like two seconds
- bdhcuidbebe 3y agobecause bing is even a bigger joke, where ai spam is even built into the product
- dgellow 3y agoBing search and Bing AI thingy are different products
- fieldcny 3y agoI love your enthusiasm for how easy it is to change human behavior. The cost of starting a competitive search engine is incredibly high, and unlikely to get real funding as a) the business model would likely have to be subscription based to align users interests long term with the companies interests, this alone is probably enough to make it a pass for most VCs, b) the incumbents in this space have an immoral amount of cash to spend on either acquiring, bankrupting or destroying any meaningful competition.
