Do you think search results have become better or worse with the introduction of AI?

    @[email protected] Difficult to say IMHO. I rarely use AI for search but apparently it happens in the background a lot. If I search for a specific thing it can get worse (interpreting for a different search phrase) or better (actually finding things). Dedicated AI searches are also a mixed bag. I have bad hallucinations as well as sources I was unable to find the traditional way.

      @[email protected] , for me, the most visible parts when it comes to AI is the box at the top, where some answer is selected to be the best answer. This often gives a bad or inaccurate answer.

      In addition to that are actual search results, that are AI generated. Often I will have to go down the list of search results to find what I was looking for. The AI generated results are pushing what I am looking for down on the list. Part of the issue is also that search engines are giving regency a big priority, which means that more static content will just disappear.
