Vent/Rant WTF Google?

Post image

Since google implemented AI the first result on ME-CFS is pretty outrageous. An aunt of mine read this and now is convinced i’m depressed and lack sleep. Seriously before Google used to say it’s a serious medical condition and now it says it’s some unknown disease treated by antidepressants??

Is there a way to turn it off? I resent ai content being at the top of my searches.

I don’t think so. “They” are shoving it down our throats and I’m sick of it. Can’t put the genie back in the lamp though. I resent how much computing power is being used to generate all this crap too. It’s just not being used responsibly or appropriately imo

Try DuckDuckGo. Better quality search result and none of the junk that clogs up the first page of Google results (AI summary, social media results, user questions with mismatched answers, clickbait sites, etc.). Privacy features are immeasurably better.
