I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

    Huh…Can’t replicate that claim (though I would believe it happening)

    On the 20th Sep. I asked my Google Home if it would be raining.
    It responded that it would rain. I asked when it would rain.
    Home responded with “Today it won’t rain.”

    Like what? 5 seconds ago you said it would. No weather report reports rain. Where did you get the first response from??
    And I could even replicate it (have it on video)

      I can’t get it to repeat it either but it was definitely an ai auto response thing from google ai overview or whatever it’s called

      Now it’s giving distance from burner and everything lol. It’s learning 👀
