    Yes, the search engine AI is a very expensive and shitty filter.

    Unfortunately with SEO going nuts these days, it might be necessary to have some kind of spam filter for searching the web just to avoid some of the enshittification created by AI in the first place. Like, the AI goes to Quera and Reddit for answers instead of the marketing links, so at least the answers are less commercial.

    Obviously these “human” sources will eventually or are already shittifyed too, with half the posts there also being marketing in one way or the other.

    I dislike it, but flooding the web with useless crap may be the key to making some better alternative…
