Google recently started showing me their AI bullshit. This made me pull the trigger and switch to DuckDuckGo as the primary search engine.
That said, some niche stuff has significantly better results in Google. But not in the AI bullshit. I searched for a very niche train-related, the bullshit response said condescendingly "this word does not exist, maybe you meant [similarly sounding but completely different word], which in the context of trains means ...". The first real result? Turns out that word does exist.

- datavirtue 1y agoI switched to DDG over seven years ago and just realized it had been that long when I read your comment. Google started wasting my time and I had to shift.
