@dangillmor why is there an AI web search engine on Facebook now and who is using this?! I just want to find my old classmates on FB, not browse the web. It's like they want to be 90's AOL.

This should be dubbed "data pollution". It's the Internet equivalent of a village dumping their waste into their own water supply.

@dangillmor AI is killing Google search.

I’m using Perplexity.ai more and more often for answers to complicated questions.

@dangillmor I've started using the date filter to make my searches only return stuff from before 2022 or 2023. The web was already getting spammy with SEO nonsense but now it's 10 times worse.

Even filters are starting to fail for me.
