S1L3NT_F0X404Google is killing the web.
IratePirateGoogle isn’t just making agents more efficient, there’s a bigger vision to build a system where websites are disassembled into its component parts, and reassembled by AI systems (Google and others) to best serve each individual user.
How long until this does not only “reassemble” pages, but also changes their content? Prescription medicine dosage got skewed because the agent hallucinated (5mg, 50mg, 500mg - doesn’t matter, right?). Information on vaccines shifted to full-on anti-vaxx conspiracy bullshit because it was “what the user was actually looking for” and “research shows it improves user experience”. References to the Epstein files got redacted by AI because it was trained to censor results provide politically neutral information.
provide politically neutral information
i’ve had to tell chatgpt/copilot several times in the past few weeks to stop doing this and yesterday it got jarring because i asked both it and deepseek the same thing and the results were miles apart from each other.
Just goes to show that chatbots are not search engines, and the more search engines lean into chatbots, the more pressing this problem will become.

it would be easier it were a google search, but it was question about the epsteins winning the lottery twice and chatgpt pushed back saying that there was no proof of that in the epstein files.
which is true of the epstein files themselves, but other confirmed documentation (ie the court case that sent gishlaine maxwell to prison) shows that it happens and makes it feel like chatgpt is running the same sort of distraction that the mainstream media does.
