And my cat says scratching furniture doesn’t damage it.
Just put scratching posts next to the furniture instead.
…she doesn’t actually scratch it any more, but I still use this analogy because it’s a light-hearted way to say “bullshit”.
AI did not, in fact, affect the rate that I clicked on results in Google search, at least if we’re talking clicks per search.
It made me stop using Google search instead.
Well that and the shitty results it kept giving me at the top of the page when all I wanted was the Mozilla docs on a specific CSS attribute.
Well done! What is your replacement search engine go-to ?
These days it’s Kagi. Manually ranking websites (pin, raise, lower, block) is a feature I couldn’t live without now.
They still use Google’s index to some extent from what I understand, but without all of Google’s shitty “features” like AI overviews and sponsored entries.
It’s probably upping my number of search clicks because I want to figure out what sort of crack it was on when it came up with my answer.
They changed circle search (home button search) to always include a desktop screenshot as part of the search on Android. It ruined the search experience. I responded by changing to Duckduckgo for all searching and disabled Gemini from the power button. I would venture I’m not alone
Being in marketing: BS.
Having seen how so many average people are using AI, I’m sadly not surprised that people are just going with whatever is up there, even when it is wrong.
