First it was: "Search is bad now, I'll just use Reddit to find answers.". Now Reddit is trying to kill itself while the search engines inject falsehood generators into their pipelines for weird reasons. Finding information is gonna get a lot harder.
@[email protected] this is definitely the time to short Google I think. They're leaning into AI at the same time that generated content is threatening to make their search engine entirely useless, and if Reddit goes to the howling dogs, that'll end appending "Reddit" to your search query to get it to turn up something remotely relevant. Seems like someone is going to need to invent an actual search engine again.
