This pretty much exactly encapsulates how I feel about Google. It feels like it used to be so much better, but now it has so many ads/ suggestions/ SEO/SEM , it's kind of hard to actually find good information. As they mentioned in the video, you pretty much have to add "reddit" to a search to get good information written by an actual person.

and even that worries me given the state of Reddit and how some of the subreddits are still locked down from the protests

Whenever I have to help someone who doesn't have adblock, I'm always shocked at how bad Google/ the internet and stuff looks.

This is actually one of the things that drove me to use ChatGPT. As long as the info you're looking for isn't current, it's the exact opposite of Google: it answers your question and nothing else. When companies start advertising on ChatGPT responses I will burn Silicon Valley down.

Yeah honestly, I was trying out Google Bard for a very similar thing. It's really nice to just get the answer you're looking for rather than trying to weed out ads.

On a similar note about ads, I was having a discussion with my friends about AR after Apple announced their headset. And I mentioned how much I love the idea of one day having AR glasses like Google Glass and being able to walk down the street with some helpful information (like Google Maps or something). But what I know will inevitably happen is that I'll be walking past McDonalds and a giant burger will walk out towards me and pitch me on their new deal or something -_- God I hate ads
