    God how i hate ai. Because of its insistence on using outdated training data you have to tell it five times that is wrong before it will do a search. Then the political correctness filters kick in and turns the answer into a useless mass of "both sides have a point" that goes on for three pages. And in the end you have no idea what is real and what is hallucination.

    So you do a DDG search and the results are two pages of ai generated slop.

    Kill it before it grows.

    Why are you engaging with this stuff at all?

    I literally cannot google search "hardware store city name" and get anything relevant. I would use a phonebook if I had one.

    Oh my god you just made a great argument for the return of phone books.

    Except now they will be written by AI, an updated one gets left on your doorstep 3 times a week, and the built in DRM sets itself on fire when the new one is printed.

    I don't even tell people to Google it anymore. I switched to saying search so no one thinks I'm pointing them to Google com
