I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

    Huh…Can’t replicate that claim (though I would believe it happening)

    On the 20th Sep. I asked my Google Home if it would be raining.
    It responded that it would rain. I asked when it would rain.
    Home responded with “Today it won’t rain.”

    Like what? 5 seconds ago you said it would. No weather report reports rain. Where did you get the first response from??
    And I could even replicate it (have it on video)

      I can’t get it to repeat it either but it was definitely an ai auto response thing from google ai overview or whatever it’s called
