No need for using sensational/clickbait headlines like this.

Post truth. From the big G. How times have changed.

Also, tested Bard a few times and current AI is close to useless: I have to check everything it outputs. Might as well get an intern

Apparently, Google has also taken to suck deez nuts.

The result if you unfortunately have Google's "Bard AI" search lab turned on. At least it has a disclaimer that the results may be garbage.

Showed up for me on google.ca lol. Glad I switched to duck duck go a whole a go.

We don't have AI. We have a chinese room.

I left google search some 5 years ago. About twice a year I find myself trying it and being amazed by how crap it is.

DDG FTW!

Google is working perfectly fine for me. No AI or misleading answers. Haven't tried DuckDuckGo yet, but I'm fine with Google as-is. Here's what my results look like when searching for an African country that starts with K.
