Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts - Lemmy.world

Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.

It's pretty incredible how often I put “Reddit” in a Google search. It really is the quickest way to get a good answer to most questions, from how to fix an Excel error to which robot vacuum is most reliable.
i wonder if chatgpt will eventually replace reddit.
Not gonna happen at it's current state. I really can't wait for the "AI" trend to die. People think it's some magical resolution when it's really "As an AI language model 2+2=5".
And no matter how well GPT will or won't work, we shouldn't forget who we're dealing with here. I wholehardly trust Microsoft to completely screw up and shit the bed once they got a (semi) monopoly on AI assistants. Google worked pretty well for a very long time until they got too cocky, same with Internet Explorer from Microsoft. History will repeat itself and GPT will become shit one way or antoher.
