Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Shitty search has been a problem longer than ai

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If your definition of ai is only LLMs, sure. But it's been algorithmic tweaking and SEO wars for a while now.

Well yeah, llm garbage is the problem being discussed. Do you consider SEO to be ai? I don't see why you would.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No, but the algorithms that search engines use to combat it is.

ah minor correction, you're on Lemmy not on Mastodon, the venue for this sort of tedious and point-avoiding pedantry

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

No, they aren't.

AI has been around since the 50s, Internet search has only been around since the 80s.

That is irrelevant. We are specifically talking about LLMs ruining Google searches, which is the last couple of years.
