@scalzi It's a misapplication of AI. What any search company *should* be doing is training language models to detect SEO and ruthlessly derank spammy or junk content from the search results.

But Google isn't a search company. Google is the advertising behemoth formerly known as Doubleclick, with a search subsidiary to sucker in the public eyeballs. And the more time you waste staring at the web pages carrying their ads the more use your eyeballs are to them.

Google doesn't work for you or me.

The net is their land.
It is not our land.
They own the wires and
They seize the pageviews.
From the tainted Twitter
To the depths of 4chan.
Google don't work for you or me.
