A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I agree. However, I still feel like it delivers the best search results.

Gave you tried a Kagi demo? I’ve been using it for months and it’s been markedly better results for most searches.

As long as you really like pinterest and nothing else.

You're rationalising supporting a toxic company.

Welcome to capitalism.

It doesn't anymore. It's SEO is bonked.

And even then, there's alternatives anyway. Sightly better search isn't worth supporting Google.

You can't say you're anti-AI and then literally help fund AI.

Use 4get! I self host my own but you can find endless public instances online, like 4get.ca

4get is a proxy search engine that strips out all the tracking and garbage, so on the search instance you can pick whether you want it to use Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, and a bunch of other ones.
