Any "simple" Google query now means pages of nonsense answers, promoted sites, AI "help", before you even get to a cogent result.
Much better to just talk to others than use Google.
- Scoundreller 2y agoReddit, got it. and Google and quora are in cahoots, right?
- echoangle 2y agoWhen I google „TripleDES“, the first result is a box showing the Wikipedia article on Triple DES. Click on that and you’re done.
- lupusreal 2y agoCreate a search keyword for Wikipedia. Then you can type "wiki whatever" into your address bar and be taken right to Wikipedia without the google middleman.
- andrepd 2y agoAgree with the sentiment, but that's a Wikipedia link. Wikipedia is (as of yet) immune to LLM slop
- nneonneo 2y agoMeh...not immune, just resistant. There's unfortunately a big difference. LLM slop is coming in at the corners, typically on articles that are less well-patrolled.
- dspillett 2y ago> promoted sites, AI "help" I've been experimenting with Kagi for those reasons (amongst others) and finding it works well. Far from ideal for all as it isn't free after 100 queries, but it seems to be a workable solution to the problem for me for now.
