#2Google AI responses are generally crap and annoying. I've gone back to DDG or if I need some context - very specific guidance for claude/chatgpt. Goodle's AI is generally inadequate or wrong without significant clarification.

Exactly — AI for thinking, search for finding. They're different jobs.

#5I don't want either, if I'm indeed "searching." But I find that often times I am indeed just looking for a quick answer, and Gemini/Google's "new" search does it fine.
It's one of the few AI features, despite still being shoved in my face, that I actually find useful.
With that said, the worst thing is how search results have degraded significantly since the AI years, even before they added the actual "AI mode."
Google now (and quite a few search features on other services, e.g., Twitter) often returns results that have ZERO relationship to the search keywords I gave -- like an entirely different person when searching for a person's name, which I think should never happen and did not happen when search was still based on a "rigid" algorithm of indexed content. So, I can only assume it's because they have some AI thingy along the process.

Yeah the keywords thing drives me crazy. You type exactly what you want and it decides you meant something else

The LLM-isms are a bit boring, but not necessarily a tell that the article as a whole is worthless. I read the full thing and pretty much agree.
