ChatGPT is now refusing to provide links to articles it says I wrote. This makes sense since I didn't write four of the five it cited, and the fifth is a book title, not an article.
It is simply astonishing that companies are embedding technology into search engines that makes them vastly, vastly worse at finding accurate information.
@dangillmor I highly, highly recommend Shoshana Zuboff's book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism." Search engines don't make money by directing you to the results you want. They make money by selling predictions they've made about your future behavior (by feeding the vast behavioral surplus data they accumulate into their proprietary algorithms) to 3rd parties. We need to change the way we think about the services we use, including search engines.
