I know there are search engines that are better than Google, but it’s becoming mathematically impossible to make a truly good search engine these days. Basically everyone is creating infinite AI generated content… and all that content is optimized for computers to read, not humans.

We need a fundamental shift in how we find information, and I’m not sure what that solution will be.

People have suggested web rings, but most people don't care much.

Most users are kind of learned helplessness and don't really try much different.

Math isn't the problem, when you search "tetris attack snes" and the results are all "tetris," and then clicking "did you mean what you actually wrote?" returns "nothing on the internet resembles those three words, you freak."
