Move over, flat-Earthers, the time has finally come for the giant Europe conspiracy theory.

    Basically, Botswana and New Zealand are the only countries NOT in Europe, and in the case of the latter it's because it doesn't actually exist.

    They always insist Old Zealand was replaced in the 19th Century; don't believe it people!

    It’s actually the Dutch province of Zeeland which is notable for being otherwise completely unnotable.

    Nope. Zee ≠ Zea

    which is notable for being otherwise completely unnotable.

    Lots of islands like that in Denmark 😄

    If you're using the LLM generated results you need to stop. They're going away or becoming subscription services soon anyway and all we're doing now is harm.

    Disclaimer: I am also guilty of this and trying to cut it out slowly.

    Don't worry, I'm not. I just keep forgetting to put in the noai part of the address

    No there will be always free tier of LLM's. For data collection, advertising, improving model output etc. Maybe they will reduce the free quata but i don't think they completly remove it. Ohh sorry you are talking about search engine's LLM results. Okey they may go.

    Why are you using any AI for search results? Just turn it off and use DDG as a normal search engine. Problem solved.

    Why are you using any AI for search results?

    Not by choice. I just can't be bothered to type in the noai address every time my ADHD brain gets a sudden thought and wants to look something up

    use DDG as a normal search engine

    That's what I'm already doing 🤷🏻

    Problem solved.

    I never said I had a problem 😁

    Well, in my experience, at least is still better than Gemini.

    I can't believe that Google of all companies in the AI space have created the most dog shit AI.

    the most dog shit AI.

    For you. I bet it's useful for their cash flow, not accounting the dev cost.

    Gemini or the garbage they put in the search engine?

    Both.

    The reason why Google's search quality has gone downhill so quickly it's because, rather than your search query being put though it's search engine, it's being put through Gemini to make their AI numbers look better to investors.

    All of this is made worse by the fact that Gemini, itself, isn't very good as chat bots go, at least compared to it's competitors.

    Not only was it wrong, it even missed Canada being a double secret non-existent "associate member" of EU.

    Wish they’d just scrap it. Makes me want to migrate to qwant (despite disliking their lack of bang syntax). Or more accurately, I’m trying to migrate to qwant because of it, but I’ve still not converted completely.

    Oh, no, all the continent is now EU associate member.

    Gringoland should now join BRICS.

    Their normal search is now near useless as well.

    Nah, that's Google you're thinking of.

    DDG isn't GOOD, but it's almost always good enough to eventually find what I need. Unlike Google, which is just ads and other useless results now.

    Mmm I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree. Google's results are still better than ddg, which sources them from bing. In my experience, it is even more susceptible to SEO spam than google, even though both are pretty bad.

    To me, search engines with interesting results are more stuff like marginalia and mojeek, but those are niche and not really for most people. They also have a tendency to give results that have nothing to do with the query, which is sad :(

    To be fair, Canada is looking to "join" the EU, Turkey is already a member. What is Europe anyway?

    Doesn't the president of Mexico have a menstrual position?

    Also the president of the USA has a fecal position right?

    Oh, right, neither are in Europe, my bad...

    So where are all the haters who moved over to the Quack search engine because Google was forcing AI on them, now?
