Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.
Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.
❓ucblockhead@carnage4life I think I've never seen a company work so long and effectively at making their own core product objectively worse than Google has.

@toddhorowitz @carnage4life Twitter has only been in self-own mode for a year and a half. What's impressive about Google is that it's been sabotaging it's core product for decades.
@ucblockhead @carnage4life Fair, though Twitter's enshittification precedes the Musk takeover by many years.
