How can you trust whatever you search for after the glue on pizza thing?

You’re confusing what I said as being solely about search.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, I'm just addressing the search part. How can you trust it?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’m not saying I can. I don’t use Google, haven’t for years, so can’t make statements about the quality of its search. Intuitively search isn’t benefitting from the use of AI.

I find AI a HUGE productivity boost, in search

search isn’t benefitting from the use of AI

Why make your initial comment of support if you just walk back on it? Got some money riding on it or something?
