THIS SUCKS WIDE.

THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD SUCK ANY WIDER.

Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

@researchbuzz I recently learned that if I follow my search word or phrase with -hai that I would get results without ai at the head of the results. Will they now just submerged and permeate all results with ai ?

@BegoniaArizona yep!

@BegoniaArizona You don't even get links, just a mashwad of Google's AI output.

@researchbuzz that is not going to help. What’s an alternative?

@BegoniaArizona Mojeek? Brave?

@researchbuzz ooops I’m and old gal, with no grandkids to help. Are those websites like duck duck go?

@BegoniaArizona You're all good!

Mojeek.com
Brave.com

If you want to try a smaller search engine, there's a one-man show running Stract.com . It's pretty small though so try the others first.
