What the hell has happened to google?
Who remembers google doing things like not closing HTML tags as a way of shaving microseconds off of the page render? Just tons and tons and tons of work being done to make google.com load quickly, and provider answers people want.
Google.com as it is today is a slow, bloated, spam filled mess. The closest thing to a use case I have for it at this point is using it like a DNS phone book, or maybe to grep Reddit.
The benefit of providing these answers but keeping them on Reddit or the onion or anything else is that it provides context. If assblaster42069 on Reddit is telling me to glue my cheese to my pizza, it’s telling me something else than if google itself appears to be telling me that.
Why not spin up Gemini as a separate product and see if people want it?
