People seem to forget: AI is about data, the ability to process it, and having a few smart folks to do algorithms. The third part is actually the smallest and easiest part of the trilogy for AI.

Google, has all three. The real question is can they not shoot themselves in the foot while doing it.

Also SEO will always target the market leader.

As far as Bing's results: I keep thinking Google is trashy. Then I use Bing and I remember just how good Google is. That's my personal opinion. I am NOT going to claim they are SEO, and spam immune, far from. But they seem to do better than Bing in getting what I mean right.

ChatGPT may help MS, but is it a bandaid? Is it just a good PR bump? Who knows... Displacing Google is a large task.. and not one I'm sure I want MS to win. But I look forward to them trying, if only to make Google do better.

Google is without a doubt worse for me than ever. But is it really google? Or is it just the absolute cesspool of SEO-optimized ad driven garbage that represents a growing portion of it?

The other searches are worse. I too have tried. But in general I'm frustrated with Google now more than I've ever been.

This is really the core of my disappointment in Google: their poor handling of malicious SEO. Having humans go over shared site blocklists that people use to improve results, hand verify each entry, and remove those sites from Google results would go a long, long way.

I'm talking about lists like these: https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter/blob/mai...

It wouldn't take a small team more than a few weeks to get through these lists -- most of the work has already been done.

Alternatively, they could just let us add these lists to a first-party interface so we don't have to use plugins to achieve the same results.

I think this will be a key differentiator, Google has been so obsessed with automation that it's painted itself in a corner when that automation is inadequate. Microsoft doesn't have a problem with doing things that don't scale when needed.
