    Back in my day, you could have just Googled it. Web search is complete trash now though thanks to a combination of Google and AI.

      I wouldn’t even know what to Google, though. The feature is that it accepts a vague and borderline useless input.

        Idk, in my experience that’s exactly what Google was useful for. One of the many reasons it was so good around 2010 is it could find stuff without knowing exact keywords. Googling a full sentence question has pretty much always been possible. All the AI data is literally coming from the same place.

        These days there’s so much noise in the results, I can’t find much of anything I don’t already know I’m looking for.
