People always misuse searchengines by writing the whole questions as a search…

With ai they still can do that and get, i think in their optinion, a better result

    10-15 years ago Google returned the correct answers when I used the wrong words. For example, it would have most likely returned resistors for that query because of the stripes, and if you left off stripes it would have been capacitors.

    AI isn’t nearly as good as Google was 10+ years ago.

      There’s the theory it’s by design. They have made search so bad so that we now turn to Ai to give us what search can, and by that they can effectively charge you for searching…which generally we would baloney the idea of paying to search.

        it also drives more revenue to Google as they have less bounce rate off their search page. they get more monetization off their own sponsored results.

        hurts sites that are providing information as now less people click through from search. less human traffic and increased bot traffic, which of course Google won’t pay for as it filters bots out on its ad network.
