    The number of people I know who now ask AI instead of web searching is… very upsetting.

      If you search Google just serves you their AI shit. The other day their AI told me the word “rainy” has 4 letters.

      Google search has got so bad in the last couple of years that I actually don’t blame people for using AI for this.
