Meanwhile, ChatAI tech is coming for Google's bread and butter, but Google can't think of anything else to do but increase its role in creating a corporate authoritarian dystopia. Of course, ChatAI has the potential to be far worse than anything Google has been up to, but that will be little consolation to Google if they dwindle down to being the next Yahoo.

Are you talking about the same ChatAI that will go in a loop as soon as you deviate slightly from a “clean” conversation? Google cleaned up their SERPs terribly over the the last few years but still returns some results for any query.

> still returns some results for any query.

On the contrary, Google's search has degraded severely. They now routinely tell me nothing was found when I'm searching for things I know exist, and know used to be indexed. Google is now third or fourth on my list of search engines because of this. They just aren't very good anymore.

That’s why I said. Still not good but at least it won’t judge you by saying it’s “unethical” and “immoral”. Plenty of searches are still possible on Google but aren’t on ChatGPT, like “what are you doing stepbro”

As we’re all meant to be living in the metaverse inside our self driving cars purchased by crypto, I’d wait to see what’s going to happen before making grand proclamations on the latest vastly overhyped tech.
