They shit in the search results precisely so we’ll use the ai instead

I used to always magically find what I was looking for. Now I don’t and sometimes only the ai results include the relevant webpages I was searching for

AI search will win because they already are making it so

    Nah. They definitely are using that now that their AI is competing in the market. But the enshittification started before Generative AI.

    The main intention (from Google's on leaked documents) was to keep people on the page longer so they could view ads longer and potentially click through those ads.

    That was Google's business model for years before AI.
