> It's a wildly better experience searching for "traditional apple pie recipe" on ChatGPT than on Google due to the brutal amount of intrusive ads and over-optimization and the gap is just getting bigger. So the differentiator is not that AI is inherently better but that the phase 1 of enshittification hasn't hit yet. There is no indication that AI solves enshittification, it's only a matter of time. In that case, why bet on it ? We already know the end result and it's shit. Your comment seems to indicate that alternative search engines with different strategies might be better, because remaining in the minority naturally filters out the unneeded, and that's a more interesting strategy. (it also implies that capitalism is a problem in itself and that is something I can only agree with)
