@[email protected] , we all evaluate based on our own experience. You may or may not agree with what other people are seeing, but that is what they are seeing.
In my case, I have been on the Internet since the start of the Web and IMHO there has been a clear change.
@[email protected] This is actually why science was invented. People’s subjective experiences are very often wrong. It’s what we think we see. I’m wrong all the time because of my biases and preconceptions.
@[email protected] , a poll is actually for the purpose of asking people what they think. That is what I am interested in.
I do think AI has made results a lot worse. Partially because of the summaries and partially because there is a lot of AI generated content early in the results. I am finding it harder to find stuff I am looking for, that I know is there.
@[email protected] Something that I’ve been wondering the past several months is if anyone has attempted to objectively tried to address the question of quality of search results. I dont even know if one can objectively test one search engine against another much less the past versus the present. Do you know of any efforts to do this?
@[email protected] , I think it is hard to do really. Unless you can recognize AI and other SEO generated stuff. If there is more of that, the results are, IMHO, objectively worse. Most of the time one is not interested in AI stuff, but rather information from the source. Anything else is, objectively, worse.
