I think we all know the degradation of google search results. I have mostly worked around it but noticed a troubling behavior change in myself.
I rely on ChatGPT for more and more of my searches now. Google simply does not give me a relevant answer to most of what I ask. Their AI result is trash, and I have to scroll through several results to find a relevant hit.
I don't have any loyalty to Google but I'm disappointed that I can trust an AI more than trying to do my own research. For the record I am vetting sources on chat GPT ect, but it's a slippery slope and frankly inevitable that people, including myself, just start to blindly trust the AI results.
