The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

The next good search engine will unironically be a Microsoft chatbot of some kind

You mean current Bing co-pilot?

Bing has gotten so much worse in the last 5 years, it’s not even better than google anymore

Search results aside, why can I no longer copy the result from Bing’s calculator anymore

I only ever knew Bing as being good for porn. Maybe a porn aficionado can confirm if it still is

Yeah Bing used to be lagging behind Google on censorship so you could find shit that Google wanted to hide once. Now, it all sucks.

Their video pages gives way fewer results than before

Just did a test searching “porn” and scrolled for 3 seconds before reaching the end of the results

If I do a search though I can get the same 3 results for 20 pages before finding a new one

Lol, Copilot is easily the dumbest AI assistant. It's completely useless, it just spews bullshit.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

It just parses the first few results

It’s the same as the search engine
