Where do we get information now? Should we go back to the library and take out books? Feels like the age of easy information is over.
option a) evolve. the internet is changing for the worse so our search skills have to get better.
option b) retvrn. libraries are still pretty cool places to get information.
Maybe that’ll work for a while, but AI slop is already getting printed and bound
Heheh... walking through the local library months ago and there's a huge shelf of climan denier books in the non-fiction section. Its... not good folks.
Alternate search engines exist and work just fine. Hop on duckduckgo or qwant, disable their little summary features, and boom regular reliable search engine with no LLM slop built in. You could also go straight to a resource, like Brittanica or Wikipedia, and look up your info there. The only thing I use Google for is Scholar to find papers and for YouTube, everything else has a better replacement and has done for years now.
lol no they fucking don’t. Are you high? Kagi is the closest thing in existence to a functional search engine and even then it’s frankly not that great
you gotta pay for search now.. kagi offers 500 searches for like $5 or some shit.. what a world
Or you could go the route of people who swear by ChatGPT and just trust the blatantly false information it gives you, and get upset at the world for being wrong.
