I tried researching candidates for elections the other day and Gemini refused to do anything but point me to the candidate’s official platforms. I wanted to know who they were and what they did with political power they had into he past and we’re not allowed to know that, apparently.
Slow down there big rig. I did an exercise to see what AI would do and it refused to assist me in helping me make an informed democratic choice. It has no such issue assisting with other tasks. That is disturbing limitation to put on it imo.
Has anyone else noticed that Google’s results are largely irrelevant to the search now?
I’ve found Gemini will answer the question or whatever I’ve typed in (almost always 100% incorrectly) , I’ll scroll past it only for the search results to be almost entirely random links that don’t include my search terms.
I’ve been on a bit of an anti smart tech crusade in my house recently, and it’s looking like I’m fully going back to 1999 then. If I don’t know something, and no one I can ask knows then I just don’t get to know. I refuse to ask the ai to search the internet for me when the search bar used to work perfectly fine and it’s giving me the wrong answers.
Time to invest in one of those world encyclopaedias I guess.

Why did you trust a LLM to source and interpret that information for you in the first place?

They’ve abandoned traditional search. Our only options to search the net may be an AI interface.

I’m happily using kagi for search. I have to pay for it, but that way I’m not (necessarily) the product.
