      There is also a newer technology called a “Language Model”. From what I understand it is the most successful and most private, but also most controversial, method. It completely displaced and rendered redundant these “search engines”, by polluting the interwebs with false information. </sarcasm> Also, Google was stupid enough at one point to give reddit as the primary source for all information in searches, that’s not a good method no matter whether you use an LLM, a locally-hosted LM, or a search engine.

          Basically, yes. Search engines are no longer as useful, and AI is only making that impossible to ignore. Doesn’t mean I said most of what I said except sarcastically. My point is, “TheSaddestMan” is how I tell the world I’m sick of their cynicism. Dystopian fiction and anti-escapism didn’t save the world from becoming a cyberpunk story.
