I stopped using Google search after the Snowden leaks, moved off Gmail about five years ago, and started using GrapheneOS over a year ago. I barely use anything Google anymore.

> google will tell you "great questions"

The needless ego stroking of these AI chatbots drives me up the wall. Not all my questions are insightful and good questions. They are often obvious follow-ups from a contradiction in a previous reply.

The Kagi Assistant used to not do this, and now it does it on nearly every response.

> Google, how could you be so careless with your HUGE userbase?

Based on some of the things Apple said around the Siri delay, I think this is part of why they didn’t release an anything major. Of course, now they’re releasing a repackaged version of Gemini, so I guess the market has said it cares about AI more than accuracy. Either that, or it’s a tactic to blame shift when things do go bad.

It's in its awkward teenage years stage now.

Pretty soon the AI will tell your father things that are more difficult to disprove and it will be done the same way "news" and Wikipedia do it - telling you how to feel before telling you what happened, reporting only part of the story, and not covering most happenings at all.

Now is the time to teach your circle psyop avoidance skills. Or build an honest competitor (if it were allowed to exist - Marc says only three will be permitted to exist).

> i tried explaining to my relative that the result he got from google was an A.I. generated text

Maybe I tried explaining the wrong thing EG: showing real information that you found* from a website proving the location is not prone to flooding, rather than gaslighting them on their efforts and AI usage.

*Past results are not indicative of future performance.

this is so enraging, Europe wake up! sue these irresponsible fucks
