google images is filled with ai-generated garbage. news is stuffed with twitter/x links and a ton of other non-news results. searches often give you back a bunch of useless seo-optimized pages made for ad revenue. it’s a failure, and they want us to believe a chatbot is the fix.

AI is certainly doing a good job of confirming the GIGO principle

@parismarx Do we have a good search engine alternative? I've been using DuckDuckGo for over a year, but I feel the results are not that different from Google....

@parismarx note that in Google News, you can exclude various news sources, but not X, which is in its own section
