alt Hacker NewsI hate other things with Google. I have a feeling that we lost something. A tool for discoverability. You cannot just enter a keyword, and see billions of pages in results. You cannot explore the web anymore. If I write "artificial intelligence" in the searchbox the result wil be swamped with content farms, some pages describing what it is, but there will be no 'resources', no 'tools' to be found by it. If I put "artificial intelligence tools" it will provide me some fake pages with AI slop, not openclaw, or n8n. It gives me rank pages instead of tools.
It baffles me that search engines aren't frantically working to bury the fake pages of AI slop from their results. They're actively making it impossible to use search engines for their intended purpose, and instead of fixing it the search engine providers seem more interested in simply offering their own slop for you to consume rather than direct you to anywhere actually useful. It's tragic.
