A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I agree. However, I still feel like it delivers the best search results.
As long as you really like pinterest and nothing else.
Use 4get! I self host my own but you can find endless public instances online, like 4get.ca
4get is a proxy search engine that strips out all the tracking and garbage, so on the search instance you can pick whether you want it to use Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and a bunch of other ones.
"IQ Test" with every fucking search?? Hard pass.
Then use SearxNG or StartPage
Gave you tried a Kagi demo? I’ve been using it for months and it’s been markedly better results for most searches.
Try Duck Duck Go for a week.

Welcome to capitalism.
It doesn't anymore. It's SEO is bonked.
And even then, there's alternatives anyway. Sightly better search isn't worth supporting Google.
You can't say you're anti-AI and then literally help fund AI.
Yes, and it poofed into existence inside their vaults! /S
They got it from people using Search. Search is still their main money maker.
that's not been the case for years at this point
