…after which, they will remove all search results once and for all in favor of other low quality ads. ln the process, they are redefining “search engine” as search box that spews only AI generated garbage disguised as search results. And they can get away with this since everyone googles word definitions instead of picking up a dictionary, so technically they are still a “search engine” by their own definition.

"picking up a dictionary" :)

i probably have a dozen kilograms of dictionaries. i don't remember the last time i picked one up.

i have 3 of these installed in addition to a Wiktionary interface.
