Post truth. From the big G. How times have changed.
Also, tested Bard a few times and current AI is close to useless: I have to check everything it outputs. Might as well get an intern
"I have to check everything it outputs."
You should be doing that anyway.
The result if you unfortunately have Google's "Bard AI" search lab turned on. At least it has a disclaimer that the results may be garbage.
We don't have AI. We have a chinese room.
Showed up for me on google.ca lol. Glad I switched to duck duck go a whole a go.
My chatGPT got it correctly ;)
My ChatGPT, on the other hand, was not as helpful.
Bonus Bing AI result below.
That's remind me when you search uselessbenchmark in google, it shows nothing related to userbenchmark but some post, if you search uselessbenchmark in DuckDuckGo and Bing it will show you userbenchmark in the first results.
Google is working perfectly fine for me. No AI or misleading answers. Haven't tried DuckDuckGo yet, but I'm fine with Google as-is. Here's what my results look like when searching for an African country that starts with K.
I left google search some 5 years ago. About twice a year I find myself trying it and being amazed by how crap it is.
DDG FTW!
Ddg is powered by bing isn't it?
Yeah, it's basically bing with no Microsoft tracking. What the hell kind of timeline is this where bing is the best search engine?
It's not doing it anymore
Just now: "There are no countries in Africa that start with the letter "K".
The closest is Kenya, which starts with a "K" sound."
Can confirm, still happening 🤦♂️
So what are your bets, when will Google kill Google?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
